What is your ministry?

I serve at the Sunday Children's School Service of my church.

When did you trust Christ?

It was about the end of 2013 when I realised how I missed praying to God and having a relationship (even if a broken one) with Him. And I became aware of my wicked and proud behavior, trying to live my life out of my strength. I realised the infinite love of God for us and His perfect faithfulness.

What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?

I met a new mother when I took my four-year-old son to preschool. I realised she was different from the rest of the people I knew. I got to know it was her faith in Jesus that made her that way. It made me miss what it is to know that you are never alone when God is with you. Then I asked the Lord to forgive me and decided I wanted to come back to Him and pray again. My husband (who was then a non-believer) and I began to participate in the Sunday services of a Reformed Evangelical Church (Breccia di Roma). And about 3 years later, on July 2017, we were baptised. Another important moment was when we were asked to leave our church and, together with other members, to found another one in our neighborhood.

What do you hope to gain from participating?

I want to gain new tools and resources from experienced leaders and receive encouragement from each other.

What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?

This is my first leadership role.

Why should someone invest in your ministry?

Investing in our ministry means investing in new future families of believers and, therefore, in the spread of the Gospel all over the world.
