SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO THIS GENERATION

CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES SERVING THE PEOPLE OF SICILY AND ITALY THROUGH THE GOSPEL

Giuseppe & Pennie Collesano
Giuseppe & Pennie Collesano

Giuseppe was born and raised in Castelbuono, Sicily (province of Palermo), in a Catholic family. He went to church only for holidays, baptisms, etc., until his First Communion when the Priest told him that he was now a soldier for Christ. He never set foot in the church again because he had no desire to hear about a God who was going to punish him by sending him to hell. He was afraid of death, and he was scared of the Christ that was up on the crucifix.

When he was 19, the first two believers that told him about the gospel befriended him. He kept listening to them until he ventured into a small meeting room in his hometown where people there studied the Bible and who could explain it to him. He became a regular attendee but still had doubts about what the missionaries were teaching. One night, on his way home after getting into a fight with his 2 best friends, he decided to find out for himself whether or not what the missionaries were saying was the truth. He found a Bible that his father had brought home from Germany one Christmas and began reading it for himself.

The Holy Spirit spoke to his heart, and he broke down crying and told God that if He was who the Bible said he was that he wanted him to take over his life because he couldn’t go on any longer the way he was living. In a split second, God came into his heart, and his life was changed. So now what? He asked. He and his 2 buddies decided that they would have to be the ones to tell the others in their town that they had found the truth and thus started his quest to evangelize his countrymen. Two years after he was saved, he went to study in Rome at the Italian Bible Institute; 1978-1980… Read More

PRESENTING THE WORD OF JESUS CHRIST IN THIS TIME OF UNCERTAINTY

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed – a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

Christians Standing on the Beach

Buongiorno. Good morning .
Wow??
Jesus is telling the disciples to forego their wellbeing here . Why? If you follow Christ there will the majority of people that will be “ offended “ of you being a Christian . How live, how you talk , how you behave ; all because of Christ .
Jesus said that we will be persecuted because of His name . You desire to Be associated with Jesus ? The world will hate you and persecute you . It’s already happening in China, in Saudi Arabia , in North Korea and many more countries. Bless those who curse you .
Pray for those who “use”you ; these are malicious people with no regard for God and for the believer . Maliciousness has grown exponentially nowadays . People openly mock God and also anyone that is following Jesus . If you are a believer in Christ bless the ones that curse you and pray for those who use you for their gain . The born again believer will live with God; the nonbelievers will not be allowed to live with God. He will see God only to be judged .
God bless you .

Greetings to you all . A bit of recap from this past busy summer . This summer we sponsored 4 children to a Bible camp in the bottom of Sicily .
After this we had an idea of sponsoring more children’s in the future . We would like to send some also that haven’t heard about the Lord . We would like to start a scholarship so that every two believing children’s another should be able to go and hear and be exposed to the love of God .
Let’s pray to that end so others can have an opportunity to be saved .
God bless you .

Good morning. Buongiorno.
We are on me first culture nowadays . The rest most of the times does not matter.
You and I have the freedom to follow Christ here on earth . It Does require a denying of ourselves, first Jesus then me and others . One thing is to follow someone and another to go After Jesus . It require a true desire from inside of our hearts and also to be aware of the “cost “; to take up our cross whatever it might be . Are you ready ?
God bless you .
