THE ANCHOR MOMENT
It was December 30th, 2024. A beautiful 55-degree Sunday in the metropolitan area of NJ/NY. The DiNome family had never taken a boat ride across the Hudson River from the New Jersey side and thought it would be a blast for Vincent and Dylan. They drove down to central NJ, parked the van, and headed to the port. Manhattan that day looked amazing. The family walked on board and found a place to sit outside under the winter sun. What Crystal, Vincent, and Dylan didn’t realize at first was that Vinny was almost frozen in time and weeping. He couldn’t hold back the tears rolling down his face. From the moment he stepped onto the ship, he was overwhelmed by the presence of God—as if he had just been in a revival service and the power of God was resting on him.
Vinny thought to himself, it must be the atmosphere, maybe it was the familiar place, having grown up only about 20 miles from where they sailed that day. So the family headed into the BIG City. They went uptown, downtown, took pictures in front of the tree at Rockefeller Center, did a little shopping, and made their way to Chinatown and Little Italy where they ate at their favorite spot. Vinny didn’t think much about the experience on the boat just a few hours ago. But later, as they walked under the Brooklyn Bridge about 9:00 PM on their way to the port to catch the ferry back up the Hudson River, he began to feel that same overwhelming presence. It was then he realized this wasn’t just emotionalism or love for the day and his family. It was something much deeper. He thought to himself: Could this be what Jesus felt when He looked over Jerusalem and wept?

He thought to himself: Could this be what Jesus felt when He looked over Jerusalem and wept?
On that ride back to the van, Manhattan was on their right and New Jersey on their left. Emotions Vinny recognized began to flood in. Crystal and the boys went inside the ship because it was cold, but Vinny couldn’t move from his seat. For years he had prayed over that same metro area of the east coast and thought he had put those prayers away while God directed other seasons of ministry. But now, on that cold December night, those same tears and that same love came rushing back. As they exited the ship, Vinny’s heart and mind were in a different place. The drive back up to North Central Jersey was different. He looked out the window as he passed city after city, town after town, and asked the Lord: Could all the prayers, the emotions, and the burden he had carried for close to 20 years have been for this side of the metro area he had always loved? And now, nearly 10 months since that anchor moment, the DiNome family believes God has called them to plant Angler Church in North Central Jersey.
This is more than a plan—it is a response to His voice and a step of faith into one of the most strategic regions in America. The mission of Angler Church is rooted in the Apostolic call to proclaim the Acts 2:38 message: repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost. North Central Jersey, part of the greater New York City metropolitan area, is a hub of culture, commerce, and diversity. With the Hudson River as its border, North Central Jersey is a place where the world converges—a crossroads of nations, languages, and lives in need of the hope of Jesus Christ.
The purpose of Angler Church is to meet that need: to reach souls with the Gospel, to call men and women to repentance, to baptize in the saving name of Jesus, and to see lives filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost. In a region of influence and opportunity, God has opened a door for His Apostolic truth to shine as a light to families, communities, and future generations.
The DiNome family is sincerely grateful for your partnership. Each gift—large or small—moves this vision closer to establishing a church that will touch lives today and shape generations to come for Jesus Christ. Every gift given to a new church plant is a seed sown into the Kingdom of God. At Angler Church, generosity drives the mission to reach the lost, build lasting community, and proclaim the Gospel with power in North Central New Jersey.
