WHO WE ARE

Rocco and Mady

Rocco Dalia

Before moving back to Italy in July 2023, Rocco had collected a 8-year pastoral and evangelistic ministry experience in three different churches. He served as a pastor of a small church in northern Italy for 2 years before moving to the UK in September 2013. There he served for 2 years as a Pastoral Ministry Apprentice at Grace Church Guildford and then for 4 yeas as a Pastor-In-Training at West Hill Baptist Church in South London. He is passionate about training and equipping believers - especially young adults - to become "lights in the world" (Philippians 2:15) that we might reflect the glorious gospel at work within and among us. He is now one of the pastors of a recently planted church in Turin, northern Italy (Chiesa Grazia Sovrana di Torino) and a staff worker with IFES Italy (an evangelistic university para-church ministry). While abroad Rocco studied both at London Seminary, UK, and at the Sovereign Grace Pastors College, KY, USA. Rocco and Madalina have been married since November 2011.

Madalina Dalia Dirlea

Mady (as she commonly goes by) was set for a career as a professional violin player until she felt called to leave that path behind to work alongside Rocco. She now serves by translating gospel-centered, Christ-exalting and biblically-sound congregational songs for the Italian church, especially modern hymns from Sovereign Grace, Getty Music and City Alight. Her translation ministry expands also to books. She has translated into Italian 'Sing!' by Keith and Kristine Getty, 'Corporate Worship' by Matt Merker, 'Knowing Christ' by Mark Jones, and 'Brave by faith' by Alistair Begg. Mady is fully involved in our church-based music ministry and discipling women. She was theologically trained by the Sussex Gospel Partnership Training Course, UK
