Renato Amato is filled with the passion to touch hearts, change lives and teach others how to make the world a better place! He has dedicated 40 years of his life to this purpose, travelling with his wife Patrizia all over the world and inspiring thousands of people with his teaching, writing, coaching and training ministries, in both English and Italian.
Patrizia is a woman with a compassionate heart and a caring spirit, whose careful and skilled listening hears and dedication to serve others with love have made her a well fit companion and ministry partner for her husband Renato, as well as a capable coach and mentor for many who have been touched by her care and look up to her as a spiritual mother. She is also a wonderful host and manager for spiritual retreats and events. Those who have ever been served by her will often celebrate her selfless and cheerful serving spirit.
Missionary Work: “Faith In Action”.
From 1976 to 1996, Renato and Patrizia have dedicated the first 20 years of their married life to missionary work, travelling “to the far ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8) to share the good news of God’s love with each person they made friends with along the way (Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Atheists, anyone…). During those years, they lived with their two growing daughters in many nations around the world, gathering experiences that have equipped them both with the outstanding capability of relating to people of different customs and cultures.
Discipleship Training: “MELODY Mission”.
At the end of 1996, having returned to their home country (Italy) for health reasons, Renato went through a transitional period of heart searching to find out what he was meant to do next in life. It was during that time that he clearly heard God’s voice speaking to him and whispering to his heart the following thoughts, which he wrote in his personal journal:
“Your missionary life has not ended! What makes you a missionary? Foreign fields in which to operate? Or your passion to reach others with My love wherever you are! Don’t look at this country as your “homeland”, but as the new “mission field” that I’m calling you to! There are multitudes here that are looking for answers! They are crying out day and night, asking: “Why this? Why that?” I have no way to answer them, except through those of My children who are willing to teach them My words of eternal life! Will you be My voice for them? Will you let Me use you as a channel to touch their hearts and teach them My love?”
This experience of hearing God’s voice, flowing out of his heart like “rivers of living water” (John 7:38) and giving him such clear directions, had a great impact on his life and led him and Patrizia to pioneer a new teaching ministry that has transformed the lives of thousands of people and inspired scores of young people to dedicate their lives to missionary service both in Italy and in other countries around world.
Life Coaching & Training: “Life Breakthrough Academy”.
In the summer of 2008, after a severe burnout, mostly due to a relentless 24/7 ministry and a lack of care for his own personal health, Renato experienced 2 heart attacks and underwent 2 vascular replacements, followed by a 3 months’ period of heart rehabilitation, which forced him to slow down and adopt a more peaceful and healthier lifestyle.
It was during this time that he was attracted to explore Christian Life Coaching and studied to become a Life Coach and Trainer. At the onset of 2010, after receiving their professional certification, Renato and Patrizia both joined the U.S. based Life Breakthrough Academy and Biblical Coaching Alliance, and they have since trained over 100 Christian Life Coaches from more than 20 nations around the world, via web conference.
Biblical Pastoral Ministry: “Healing Broken Hearts”.
At the onset of 2012, after 15 years of living in the Rome area, Renato and Patrizia relocated to the North of Italy, where they are now pastoring a local community of Christian believers on the Lake Garda, a famous touristic location and attraction for both Italians and foreigners. Their present ministry incorporates Healing Broken Hearts, while they continue to pursue their real passion: teach, coach and train those who can make a difference in the world.
