Shanizee Scorsone
My two areas of ministry are GBU Staff (IFES) working with University students and Youth Coordinator for my church in Siena. This involves both being alongside Christian members and evangelisation, doing discipleship, outreach, event planning, and public speaking. I work on a local level and with the GBU (IFES). I also help on a national level.
I trusted Christ when I was 9, through a conversation with my dad about salvation. I decided to be part of God's family.
My years at University were extremely important for my Christian walk. During those years, I questioned my faith and made an even stronger decision to continue to follow Christ and give my entire life to Him. Leading two student groups helped me to grow in my faith and my vision for the mission.
I hope that I can learn more from other leaders from all over Europe so that I can bring some new benefits to my ministry. Also, I hope that it will be a good time to take care of my soul and to be able to serve my ministry in a better way.
I was a student leader in the Christian Union group (GBU in Italy), a youth leader for Youth for Christ, and a youth coordinator for Cambray Baptist church in Cheltenham (England).
I am in my first year in a full-time ministry role. I long to learn more so that I can give back to my context in Italy which needs leaders to grow in the Lord and seek stability in Him to serve Him. I would love to be better equipped to serve the people God has put in my ministry and reach even more people.
