Ministry-at-a-Glance Primary Ministry Focus Partnering with Italian church leaders in church planting
The People The Catholic church continues to be central to the identity and spiritual security of most Italians. Different worldviews tend to be greeted with skepticism. Those who experience new birth in Christ identify with the fact that many of their countrymen do not know Christ personally.
Major Challenges Developing trust with pastors who have seen many missionaries and programs come and go with little success; transferring local church leadership to godly, capable Italian leaders; providing theological training for Italian men who work and minister full time.
Prayer Focus Pray that God would allow us to be effective partners with Italian church leaders, training them well and then involving them from the beginning in planting and developing new churches.
