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.
