| Introduction | Mario Marchiò was born in Torino, Italy the 26th of March 1947. The 28th June 1968 he accompanied his father in a trip to South Africa and, fallen in love with the country, decided to stay. In April 1969 Mario met Celeste, his future wife, to whom he united in matrimony the 4th of September 1971. After a lifetime intensely lived in business dealings at the edge of the law - and often beyond it - bi-monthly trips to the Middle East, Europe and Africa, after having made and lost fortunes, dined with millionaires and Bedouins, priests and gangsters, spent innumerable hours at poker and roulette tables, after having tasted euphoric elation and deep, deep depression and having finally arrived to the brink of suicide, Mario, by divine appointment, was introduced to the God of the universe one Monday evening in a relatively small church service. That very night, standing in front of his bathroom mirror in his house in Orchards, Johannesburg, Mario gave his life to the One Who was to become his greatest friend and companion, the Lord Jesus Christ. It was the 2nd day of February 1982. All the glory be to the One Whom I serve and Whose I am, Jesus. |
