Today I sat down with my good friend Robert. Robert Borelli was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1954, in the middle of the Gambino Crime Family neighborhood. As a young boy, he quickly built a reputation as a little tough guy. Surrounded by real tough guys he began working for The Gambinos by fourteen. By twenty he had two murder wraps and numerous arrests under his belt. He was being paraded around the neighborhood as the up-and-coming star of the feared Gambino Family, the same family which John Gotti would eventually bring into the mainstream media and make a household name. Over the next twenty-two years, Robert fell hard into the mafioso lifestyle which involved money, crime, and drug addiction. In 1997, as a forty-four-year-old man, he found himself in jail, looking to serve ten to twenty years. With over 130 criminal charges against his name, it was obvious he had become a career criminal. With no help from the Mob, his friend's life seemed hopeless. Little did he know his story had just begun. In jail, Mr. Borelli found redemption and a second chance. He discovered the truth, faith, and purpose like nothing he had ever experienced before. With a new outlook, on life, for the first time, he decided to do right instead of wrong, to love instead of hate, and to serve instead of take. From there, Robert Borelli spent time studying the Word of God at both Criswell College and Christ for the Nations Institute. He gained some intense formal education in his newfound faith. Mr. Borelli's story baffles the mind and intrigues the hearts of all who hear it. His passion and calling are to share his story as a preventive to those who are in similar situations and encourage each of us to find the Truth about who we really are. Today, as he tours around the world, he candidly, emotionally, and passionately shares his life story with all who will listen. For information contact robb@robertborelli.com

Growing up in the neighborhood with the Gambino crime family made it easy to get involved with crime and drugs for the ‘natural' tough guy. Robert Borelli was on his way to prison again, God intervened in a unique way. A great testimony for anyone thinking they have gone too far to receive forgiveness!

Robert Borelli lived a life of crime. Involved with the mob in New York City, he spent most of his life in and out of prison, was involved in drugs, and concealed crimes. That all came to a head one day when he cried out to God with an ultimatum. "I said, 'You better have somebody kill me or change me,'" he told "The Prodigal Stories Podcast." "I was crying like a little baby. I can't live with this pain anymore. It broke my heart, just shattered my heart in pieces."

On this episode of The Unlovely Truth, I interview former mafia madman Robert Borelli. Robert has fascinating tales of his time in a notorious crime family, but his best story is the day that he cried out to God to change him. Robert craved what a lot of young people do: respect, admiration, and the acceptance of family. But most young people don't look for these things in the mafia. When he got a shot at a new life through the witness protection program, he realized how God had also wiped his slate clean and given him a new start. Through the example of faithful men who served him through a prison ministry, Robert found a way to serve another group of society's outcasts. In Robert's story, I found 5 key secrets that helped him get through his struggles. I believe they can help all of us.

Growing up impoverished in Brooklyn, New York, Robert Borelli felt anything but certain or satisfied.

His fighting earned him the respect of the Gambino crime family, the mafia in charge of his neighborhood. Always drawn to the lavish lifestyle that these crime lords appeared to have, Robert felt honored to be welcomed into their midst. By 20 years old, he was arrested for 2 murders and spent much of his adult life in and out of prison. This episode of The Hopecast is an inspiring message from Robert as he shares the pivotal moment when God entered into his story. Tune in for an uplifting reminder that no matter who you are or what you have done, you are not beyond God's redemption. Rachaelflick.comcontact@rachaelflick.comhttps://robertborelli.com/Book - The Witness: The Tale of the Life and Death of a Mafia Madman

Robert Borelli

God loves to redeem the things the enemy tried to take away. Robert Borelli shares histestimony & how God gave him a second chance!

Born in a Brooklyn neighborhood controlled by a crime family. Robert became a rising star in the Gambino crime family. He became a new person through Christ Jesus and nearly simultaneously became a new earthly person through the witness protection program. Now an inspirational speaker and author of a book The Witness, Robert's story is an inspiration to all.

Robert Borelli grew up in a tough neighborhood in Brooklyn went to Catholic school and got lost in the shuffle of the local wise guys, doing runs for them & then became drug addicted, ended up in Rikers. Part of the Gambino Crime Family, drugs and alcohol took over and was in and out of prisons. Eventually was offered a deal to get out and was given a new identity. While in prison he said “two angels” (warrant officers) gave him a bible and he began to study, Robert said he was born again. While serving time at Indian River Jail in Florida, he was baptized there and everything in his life changed his old identity wiped away, he received a new identity in Christ. Robert has been interviewed on the 700 Club & Joni Table Talk- Joni Lamb #thecallwithnancysabato #robertborelli #nancysabato #mob #wiseguys #mafia #jail #prison #rikersisland #rikers #indianriver #700 Club #JoniLamb #JoniTable Talk #Gambinocrimefamily To read Robert's book go to- http://robertborelli.com For more Stories like this one vista http://thecallwithnancysabato.com Video on You Tube: https://youtu.be/VFhiKWrDxls --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nancy-sabato/message

It all started with a bucket of steam. When Robert Borelli was a wee lad, the “associates” in the local crime family told him to walk into the nearby store and order a bucket of steam. Of course, this is a ridiculous request. You don't buy steam, by the bucket or any other way. Robert was being tested by these people, to see what he would be willing to do at their behest.  It turns out Robert was willing to do quite a bit when ordered to do so. So much so that by the age of 20, he was granted audiences with the heads of New York's major crime families.  He was on the rise - and going the absolute wrong direction.  His lack of conscience, his inability to comprehend consequences for his actions, however, led to his fall from grace from the mafia. He was told to move to Florida where his mother lived because he was too much of a liability to his associates.  His mother told him to go back to New York because she couldn't tolerate his reckless behavior and criminal lifestyle.  Finally, after a weeklong spree of snorting cocaine, he was awakened by his two “angels”. These angels didn't have wings, they had guns. They were there to arrest him and take him to prison, most likely for life. He accepted the concept of consequences a little too late.  All Robert wanted was money for an attorney and some cigarettes at the prison commissary. He got a Bible.  The Bible didn't have money for a lawyer tucked away in its pages. But it did awaken a part of his soul that had been neglected to this point. He spent every possible moment watching Christian shows on his television in his cell. He was truly a changed man. His fellow inmates thought it a ruse. “You're doing this because you're in prison...but we all know who you really are...” When Robert was 60 days away from being released from prison, he wrote in his Bible, “Let your word penetrate my heart so that I never forget or dishonor you.” Robert has been out of prison for almost two decades, and he hasn't reneged on his vow. He speaks to people that are of age to make the kinds of decisions that robbed him of the best years of his life. His message? “You don't need to go through what I went through to get to where I am.” In our conversation with Robert Borelli, you'll hear: -Growing up with the mafia a ubiquitous presence in the neighborhood...4:20 -Discipled in the wrong way...10:34 -“A legend in my own mind”...18:00 -An addictive personality leads to big losses...22:00 -Enabling bad behavior by giving it improper attention...25:05 -Finding himself in jail at age 43...30:50 -The Bible won't pay for an attorney...35:30 -Nurturing his new relationship with God...39:50 -Using stubbornness for good rather than bad...44:00 -How to contact Robert...48:00 http://robertborelli.com/ (robertborelli.com) 214-235-2244 The Witness by Robert Borelli (actually written by H.
