Meet Dr. Fanny Basta

Dr. Fanny Basta is a seasoned Christian author and minister with over 40 years of experience in Europe and the United States. Her mission is to empower individuals to deepen their relationship with God, as outlined in the Bible. Through her ministry, 7000 Knees, she aims to guide believers to the next level of Christian discipleship. Through her writings, events, and teachings, Dr. Basta invites you to explore the depths of your faith and join a vibrant community of believers. 

She has been a diplomat, a missionary, a business owner, relief worker, and now, she works with families and executives in the marketplace, working as a financial advisor in collaboration with a Fortune 500 company. In this role, she combines her passion for helping others with her love for economics. Through all these careers, Fanny has had the same goal and motivation: to share with others the power to redeem and transform that comes from Jesus Christ and to encourage others to deepen their relationship with Him.

After meeting Jesus personally while on a dentist’s chair in the Caribbean as a teenager, Fanny moved to Italy to work as a diplomat in the embassy of her country. There, God called her to become a missionary.

  Fanny responded, leaving her job and starting a faith adventure that brought her to work with addicts in the streets of Milan, with students in public high schools, and with organized crime networks in Naples.

Fanny,  who has a doctorate degree in Managerial Economics, has been married to Gianni Basta for more than three decades. Gianni, an accomplished musician, grew up in a Christian family in South Italy who hosted the first evangelical church in their town. He learned to live and thrive in his faith even if at one point, he was the only young person in his church or school. Gianni and Fanny also served as directors of WEC International for Latin America, training Latinos to go to the least evangelized peoples in the world. She also founded the Pathways program and collaborated with IMB (International Mission Board) to equip tent-makers to plant churches while working in secular jobs, in the States and overseas.

In addition, Gianni and Fanny are still passionate about Europe, often taking teams to teach about the History of Christianity and strengthen churches there. Gianni and Fanny live in the Greater Philadelphia area, in the USA. They have 3 children and 4 grandchildren.

Recent Insights and Teachings

And It Was Good…

As God sculpted the universe, He took a moment each day to pause and reflect on His work. This divine practice invites us to consider how we, too, might benefit from weaving reflection into the fabric of our everyday lives.

What Will Your Epitaph Say?

Will it reflect a life of purpose, love, and service? Or will it tell a story of lost opportunities and unfulfilled potential? The words on your epitaph are a reflection of the legacy you choose to leave behind. It’s never too late to start shaping that story.

The Life of a Tentmaker

The question I get the most is, how do you do it? Can a Christian truly be a Financial Advisor? Didn’t Jesus say that we should not love money? How can you work in Wall Street and truly be a Christian?

Is Truth for Real?

In a world where everyone has their own opinions, it becomes difficult to determine what is true or real. Understanding the concept of truth is crucial for our lives

A Time To Die

How do you perceive death? Do you fear it, avoid it, or feel prepared for it? How to approach the subject with a sense of peace, acceptance, and why not? Even exhilaration.

Search First The Kingdom

Do not settle for mediocrity in your Christian life. Walk with dedication in your journey with the Lord.

That Incredible Christian

Have you ever wondered why Christianity was so powerful during the most hostile era in history? You will find the answer here.
