The childhood of Nicholas Philip Anthony John Agneto, III was filled with faith, family, and tradition. Yet as he grew older, he searched for love and identity in all the wrong places. Nick’s young adult years became marked by the nightlife scene, destructive relationships, and addiction, leaving behind a trail of pain and brokenness.
When Nick was a boy, a priest once spoke a prophetic word over his life stating, “The Lord is going to send you out as a missionary.” At the time, he didn’t understand what it meant, but God never forgot it.
Everything changed in a single moment.
One Sunday morning, after a long night out in New York City, Nick stumbled into a church looking for his parents. A visiting preacher prayed for him, and the Holy Spirit touched him in a way he can only describe as miraculous. In that moment, Nick experienced healing; physically, emotionally, and spiritually. He encountered Jesus in a way that transformed him forever.
From that day forward, Nick’s life has belonged wholly to Him. He surrendered everything and dedicated his life to serving God and sharing His Gospel and love wherever He leads. The prophecy spoken over him began to unfold before his eyes: Nick’s mess became His mission for Nick’s life.
For nearly 30 years, Nick has ministered across communities and nations, witnessing Jesus transform countless lives. He has seen His love restore the broken, heal wounded hearts, and bring hope where there was none.
In 2021, the Lord called Nick to leave everything and step into three specific assignments: to minister to men and youth, to return to anti-trafficking work, and to share the Gospel through every available form of media.
Nick was also part of the early days of NCS, a brotherhood that began as just 30 men gathering in Jim Lane’s home, united by a desire to point men to Jesus Christ, grow in faith and strengthen one another.
Nick is a Co-Host of “Eagle Ministries” podcast on YouTube, and the Founder of Love Gives Back.
Nick is a proud American of Italian heritage. A few family and friends call him, “Meatball” or “Nicky Soups”. He traces his Connecticut family-tree roots to the early 1900s and has over 300 family members living in Fairfield County. His mother’s family came from Gravina di Puglia, Italy; his father’s side, from Napoli. The family compiled generations of recipes in a cookbook with its proceeds having been donated to Alzheimer’s research and Stamford Hospital.
Nick loves his family, horses, house music, and hiking, to name a few things.
He lives in Stamford with his wife Kristen and three daughters.
