This past month has been quite eventful. Just getting settled into a schedule has helped us all to start feeling more comfortable on campus, and that is a great feeling! The week before students started on campus we all sat down and planned for the year. Our vision statement for the year is: “Boldly sharing the gospel with students and trusting God to change lives, resulting in a movement of passionate Christ following Italians committed to fulfilling the Great Commission.”

Our vision statement for the first phase of the ministry is: “Sowing broadly with the hope of surfacing potential multipliers while trusting God to align them with the mission He has called us to.” Our hope is in this semester to find about 12 or so leaders, who we can really pour into next semester.

Let me state the obvious: this vision is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE without God doing it. We have before us something that we are unable to produce without the Lord. And how cool is that?! Being here in Italy, we have all been entirely stripped of having anything to offer the Lord. We don’t speak the language, we don’t blend in, we don’t really know what ministry looks like here, as we’re all used to our respective ministries in America. But in that, we are being forced to rely on the Lord each and every step of the way. We need your prayers more than anything! For the Lord to move here and for wisdom and guidance for us.

Please pray for us to be bold on campus.

Please pray for us to clearly recognize those that God would want as leaders in this ministry.

Pray that we would trust God and step out in faith in new ways.
