Originally from Germany, Susanne (Susi) Waldner has been living in Italy since 2003. She discovered and deeply fell in love with Italy, having lived in various parts of the country (Sardinia, Cantù, Asti) and serving in various fields (Christian radio, pastoral care, training). Since 2009, she has been teaching with increasing commitment at IBEI (Istituto Biblico Evangelico Italiano) and moved to Rome in 2022 to serve at IBEI as an academic coordinator and teacher. Her passion is to see people grow in Christ and be transformed by Him. She loves to accompany believers (young and old) on this journey through encouragement, teaching, and training. For this reason, she dedicates a good part of her ministry, in addition to IBEI, to courses and training programs for churches and missions at the national level, e.g., in the area of personal and relational growth (with Lead-In) and burnout prevention for full-time workers.
