Gaetano Buffa & Renee Buffa grbuffa@igniteFLINT.com	Background: Gaetano & Renee have been involved with Concerts and Events for years.  Music had always been a strong part of their lives.  Upon surrendering their lives to the Lord, many doors opened that created countless opportunities for them to flourish in the area that sparked so much passion.  The realization, early in their Christian journey, that every genre of music existed within the Christian industry, only confirmed to both of them that God had put that passion for music within them for a purpose - His purpose. Eventually, Gaetano and Renee ventured into Concert and Event ministry and became members of the Gospel Music Association (GMA).  Little did they know that God would connect them with top notch artists in Christian Music; not only as partners for an event, but also as friends. Fun Facts What is playing on my ipod: Bluetree, Decyfer Down, Decemberadio, Downhere, Jeremy Horn, Red, Phil Wickham, Needtobreathe, Leeland, Day of Fire You can catch us reading: Gaetano – Made to Stick, UnChristian, Motivational, Inspirational, & educational books. Tons of content via the Internet. Renee - The Shack, Christian fiction authors especially anything by Ted Dekker What we would love to do if we had the time: We would enjoy traveling and experiencing the world as well as working full time in the Christian Music and Entertainment community. Favorite thing about ignite FLINT: Non-hurried worship, casual atmosphere, experiencing God, and true Biblical principles relevant for our lives. We are honored to serve under Pastor Todd’s Leadership. The teaching we receive is not just for the Kingdom in Heaven, it is also about building the Kingdom here on earth.
“To serve the community with successful events that encourage the body of Christ & introduce people to Jesus through wholesome entertainment." Our goal in doing Concerts and Events is to provide an atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to touch lives.  Renee and I believe that by having top notch artists partner for events in our community, their excellence will bless those they minister to through music and words.  And in return, through our ministry, the artists will leave with Ignite Flint forever stamped on their heart.  If you would like to connect with the Ignite Flint Concert & Event Ministry, please contact us.
