Chaplain
Danielle Sanzari
Board Member — Firebrand Revivalists™
- Director of Chaplains In Training
Danielle serves as the New Jersey School Chaplain with Firebrand Revivalists™, and as an ordained Chaplain and Lead Intercessor with Firebrand, supporting the family’s ministry and organizational work through prayer and spiritual intercession.
She is passionately committed to seeing the next generation transformed by the love and power of Jesus. She is a devoted wife to Marco Sanzari and mother of two children, and her journey into ministry has been deeply shaped by her love for both her own family and the children she has served throughout her career.
Before stepping into full-time ministry, Danielle spent six years as a middle school mathematics teacher, driven by a deep compassion for young people and a heart for education. She holds a Master of Science in Curriculum and Instruction, a Post-Baccalaureate degree in Elementary Education (K–5), and a specialization certification in Middle School Mathematics (6–8).
Her calling into chaplaincy was cultivated through the intentional mentorship and spiritual guidance of Shannon and Jason Suttles. As spiritual parents and leaders they counseled, trained, and equipped her in both pastoral ministry and the practical application of her educational background, teaching her how to merge her academic training with a pastoral heart. The vision for the chaplaincy ministry was birthed by God and downloaded to Shannon and Jason through the Holy Spirit.
In a divinely orchestrated move, Danielle returned to the classroom during the 2024–2025 school year — not only to teach fourth grade, but to walk through a dedicated season of training and preparation for chaplaincy ministry. She has since continued in the school as a full-time Chaplain, and God has worked mightily through her presence there, transforming the lives of students, strengthening families, and profoundly impacting the staff in ways that can only be attributed to the power and grace of the Holy Spirit.
