Keynote
Manny De Los Santos is a pastor, mentor, and visionary leader committed to transforming lives and communities. In 2012, he founded Power Church in Amarillo, Texas, with fewer than 30 members and a bold mission: to break the barriers of racism, cross cultural lines, and dismantle poverty mindsets. Today, Power Church has grown into a vibrant, multi-generational community of over 2,000, known for its deep commitment to discipleship, outreach, and kingdom impact.
Under Pastor Manny’s leadership, Power Church has become more than a congregation—it’s a movement. By forging strategic partnerships with local businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits, Power Church is actively reshaping the quality of life in the city through practical resources, community engagement, and the hope of the gospel.
In 2015, Pastor Manny founded Amarillo Barrio Community Development (ABCD), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on alleviating poverty in East Amarillo. Through ABCD, families and students are empowered with tools, education, and opportunities to become everything God created them to be.
A product of the Barrio himself, Pastor Manny’s roots run deep. His most cherished memories are of Sunday afternoons at his grandmother’s house—gatherings that continue to this day with his extended family. His story is one of honoring the past while pressing forward with purpose.
In addition to pastoring, Manny mentors CEOs, pastors, and civic leaders, helping them unlock their God-given potential and lead with clarity and conviction. He and his wife Raquel reside in Amarillo and are the proud parents of three adult children—Tyler, Joy, and Gabby—and grandparents to one grandson, David.
Preaching Style: Pastor Manny brings a bold, passionate, and practical word—rooted in Scripture, fueled by faith, and delivered with authenticity. His messages challenge, uplift, and call people to action.

A LITTLE ABOUT US...
Based on God's incarnational love through Jesus Christ, No Need Among You, powered by Texas Christian Community Development Network, is called to bring healing and hope to disadvantaged and marginalized communities, neighborhoods, and residents of Texas and beyond, by advocating, connecting, training, and serving people experiencing poverty.
Did you know that “No Need Among You” (NNAY) was the original name of the organization before transitioning to “Texas Christian Community Development Network” (TxCCDN)? Currently, we feel the Lord guiding us back to our roots of NNAY in the hopes of reaching the hearts and lives of those outside of the Texas area with the hope and news of Jesus.
Luke 5:1-11 is our theme message and inspiration behind what we do. We believe we are all called to cast our net in our own lives and families and reach the hearts and needs of our neighbor with the overflow Jesus provides.
