The «Charlie Kirk Italia» association was born in Calabria. It was founded by Massimo Ripepi, minority municipal councilor in Reggio Calabria and regional secretary of Alternative Popular Calabria, the movement founded by Stefano Bandecchi.
Today the presentation, in the presence, it is written in a note, “of important international representatives coming from the United States specifically to support the project: George Roller, ambassador of the Center for the Ministry of Christian Politics and director of the ‘Hope to the Hill’ ministry on Capitol Hill; Frank Pesce, executive director of S2PS Global (Swords into Plowshares Inc); and Fabio Paolucci, executive director of Unione – Missioni Estere Odv”. Next year, it was announced, “a meeting will be held in the United States where the alliance between the ‘Charlie Kirk Italia’ association and the representatives of the conservative American Christian world will be consolidated. It will be an important opportunity to strengthen international collaboration in the cultural and spiritual battle for Christian values.”
The Association, we read in the note, «was born with the aim of faithfully and honorably spreading the doctrine of Jesus Christ on Earth: truth, justice and love. Values that manifest themselves through courageous Christian men, capable of bringing the light of Christ into the world with coherence and without fear, exactly as Jesus Christ did, who did not hesitate to confront the human powers opposed to the Kingdom of God. Charlie Kirk – he continues – has fully embodied this model of Christian testimony, capable of communicating openly with the new generations imbued with anti-Christian ideologies that are destroying the connective tissue of modern society”. «My absolute example and model on earth – states Ripepi – was and is Gilberto Perri, founder of the Christian Center of the Strait, tireless warrior of faith. Authentic Christians fight the battle of faith with faith, courage and love, like the master Jesus Christ and his disciples. I, who am a very small Christian from Reggio Calabria, am happy to have been able to fight, in a small way, this battle against those who have positioned themselves against Christian doctrine, with injustices and hypocrisies that affect the weakest and most defenseless.”
