My name is Luca Jo Groppoli. I am a graduate of Christ For the Nations Bible College, where I was also ordained.

I am Associate Director with Agape First Ministries.

Outreach Director with Child Protection League.


It is my mission to go, make disciples of the nations, to tell the world, that Jesus can, and does in fact transform people, even people like me, who lived as a transgender male for over 3 decades.


Let’s make Jesus famous together, by connecting the lost to the heart of the Father.
