Why are you interested in pursuing this initiative? I think it's important for older men to support younger men in recognizing and becoming who they truly are.
I think it's important to pass on the values that God has given me.
Tell us about your family: I have been happily married for 37 years. My wife is also a devout christian. We have a 34-year-old son who is not yet married. My father passed away a long time ago, my mother is still alive at 96, and I have a 70-year-old sister (non christian).
What is your experience with Zoweh events and/or resources? To date, the only contact has been through Rusty Eckmann.
How did you first connect with Jesus in a personal way? At the age of 25, I was ill, and up until that point, I wanted nothing to do with Jesus. Since I was bedridden and no doctor could help me (something with my heart), I listened to the radio a lot in Argentina at that time. And then… someone talked about Jesus and said: If you are in a situation where no one can help you... Jesus will stand by you...
I felt that this was meant for me... The speaker then said a short, simple prayer, which I repeated.
A few days later, I regained my strength... and realized that life was returning. The doctors examined me again to be on the safe side... but they couldn't find anything wrong... I then knew... Jesus is real. I began to inquire more and more about Jesus and to learn about him.
Tell us about a time when you shared your Jesus story. I have often told my Jesus story in my sermons, but also on expeditions.
Explain your familiarity with the following terms: wounds, vows and agreements. I first became properly aware of these concepts during my first expedition with the Waterboyz. And I rediscovered things within myself.
Tell us about a significant wounding moment that you experienced. One situation was when I had a misunderstanding with my son, and he didn't talk to me for weeks... a very painful time...
Explain your personal familiarity with spiritual warfare. Throughout my missionary career, I have often felt how the devil attacks at critical moments, and I then find myself in spiritual warfare.
But Jesus has always triumphed.
Give an example of how you have heard from God. God spoke to me in 2012 and said, “Roberto, the battle has begun. Equip the men.” After that, I started the Waterboyz for Jesus in Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, and Argentina.
Have you had any training in listening and/or engaging in another man's story? I took a short course with the Waterboyz expedition last year (with Rusty Eckmann) and have already put what I learned into practice here in Germany.
Which of the following books have you read? Wild At Heart
How did you discover the Elder-Sage Initiative? Another Elder-Sage
What is the best time to call you? I think it's better to make initial contact by email and then coordinate an appointment for a meeting, due to the time difference.
