The Gagliones

Renato was born and raised in Benevento, Italy. He had a good religious education but Jesus was not in it. He had a career in the Italian Federal Railway System but it did not fill an emptiness he felt.

Until the Italian team of Christ Is The Answer ministries came to town that Renato heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ and things began to make sense in this world. Soon, Renato accepted the Good News and accepted God's free gift of salvation.

Immediately, Renato was reading the Bible, God's Word, and praying and his heart was changing for the better. Renato traded the uncertainty of the world for the certainty of God's promises and he was content and wanted to tell others.

Renato decided to join CITA's Italian team and become a missionary. While with the Italian team he met and married Wendy Gould. During their 35 years of marriage God gave them 4 children: Jason, Jethro, Sefora, and Tirsa. But on August 27, 2021 God called Wendy home.

So far, Renato spent 5 years as a missionary to Europe and 37 years on the American continent…mostly in Mexico. But Renato’s goal wherever he went was to tell people of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The future? No different plans until the Lord comes or He calls Renato to His Presence.
