“We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all His energy, which so powerfully works in me.” (Col 1:28-29)
Colossians 1:28-29 is the verse that Marco & Simona chose to describe their desire & objective of their service.
Marco was born in Rome on December 29, 1956. After finishing High School, he worked for 30 years as a butcher—first at the family shop and then on his own.
He met the Lord in the year 1988 through the testimony of his older brother Massimo, but Marco fought and struggled against the Word of God for over two years before completely yielding to the Lord and His Word.
Simona was born in Rome on Oct. 4, 1958. After High School, she worked as a secretary at her father’s office before getting married to Marco in 1980. She then dedicated herself to caring for her children and her husband – assisting Marco in his work and ministry.
