I (Francesco) am a missional scholar for the Mesa Global Scholar, and I am serving at IBEI, Italian Evangelical Bible Institute in Rome (Italy). While my main role is teaching, together with Manuela, my wife, I am also involved in mentoring students, working with local churches, and organizing outreach activities in our city. Our four daughters are Sofia (17yo), Naomi (15), Rachele & Rebecca (9).
My vision and passion is to help bridge the gap between the church and the academia, by making exegesis and theology intelligible and relevant for the life of the church. At IBEI we are intentional and concretely invested in promoting a holistic and organic formation on-campus as well as in branch schools around Italy, maintaining the clear and ultimate goal to fully equip present and future generations for the ministry, be that of pastor, teacher, missionary, or bible-study leader.
- Pray we can serve with passion and humility, helping students to see and live the Word as they also grow in their faith and love for God.
- Pray we as a family bear witness to the gospel of our God with courage and zeal, and see people come to a genuine, saving faith in Christ.
- Pray that our children would be strengthened in their faith and grown into women of God.
