In 2018, we were totally exhausted from that lifestyle that we were living. We sold all we had, and (without Jesus) we left Italy looking for ways to escape our problems. We spent a month in Greece before flying to Southeast Asia where we lived for more than a year.
But also there we could not find what we were looking for.
Our life was falling apart, and we did not know what to do.
In the summer of 2020, we moved to Portugal, where we heard people talk about Jesus, about His return, and that we needed to choose between good and evil.
This was a shocking revelation to Giulia, but God would later use a near-death experience to convince me of the truth.
Since then, God led us to the right people who shared the full Gospel: “RBBR”—Repent, Believe in Jesus, be Baptized in water, and Receive the Holy Spirit. Finally, we were born again, of Water and Spirit, and we were freed from the vanity of sin. As Jesus said, “unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” John 3:5.
Soon afterwards we got married and God has blessed us with a beautiful son.
