Francesca Tudelli is a teacher in Italy living as a light to those around her.
When did you trust Christ?
After studying the Bible with a missionary woman, I recognised God as the only god and as Creator. However, I was deeply affected by my sin. I couldn't let it go and I kept condemning myself until I realised I wasn't able to forgive myself. I prayed to Jesus to forgive me and He did. I felt liberated from my sin. His joy pervaded me and I started to live my new life in Jesus.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
In the first years after my conversion, it was very important to attend a church and to have brothers in Christ accompany me. I didn't come from a Christian family, so it was crucial to have believers that supported me, giving me biblical advice and teaching me how to live a new life in Christ. Since those early years, my husband has been a big blessing for me alongside various opportunities to take theological courses.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I will benefit leaning more about Christian ministries from those with more experience. This in turn will allow me to be a blessing to others.
What is your ministry?
Currently, I teach elementary school children, and at the same time, I am training to become a High School teacher. I also attend a leaders in ministry course for deacons in Italy.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I am a teacher, and I am striving to obtain leading roles within the school system.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I live in a Roman Catholic country where the reformation never took root, but was rather repressed. Through my life and my career as a teacher, I bear witness to a redeemed way of living, playing a royal, a prophetic, and a priestly for those I interact with.
