Welcome to my archive

Gino Geraci was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on March 24, 1956. He became a born-again Christian at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa on March 3, 1973 during the Jesus Movement.

After becoming a Christian, Geraci shared his faith with friend, Skip Heitzig, who was uninterested in religion at the time. Upon hearing the gospel, Heitzig threatened Geraci by pushing him against a wall, saying he had no interest in God. Several days later however, Heitzig converted to Christianity, later citing his encounter with Gino as a primary catalyst that motivated him to change his beliefs. Heitzig is now pastor of one of the largest churches in America, Calvary Church, inAlbuquerque, New Mexico.

Geraci met and married his wife, Mary, inSan Bernardino, California. They have three sons, Anthony, Jonathan, and Miguel.
