Ministry Focus
Massimo and Kimberly Lorenzini are planning to partner with other WorldVenture missionaries in Italy to accomplish evangelism, church ministry and leadership development.
It may be surprising to know that many Italians have never met an evangelical Christian or read the Bible. In fact, they are often skeptical of the traditional church and do not have a safe place to ask questions about God. The Evangelical church in Italy is divided and not well taught. The Lorenzinis recognize the increasing need for sound teaching and biblical discipleship. “Our plan is to use current media and technology to develop biblical training resources that can bring maturity to the Italian church,” they remark.
The Lorenzinis also place a strong emphasis on personal mentoring. Massimo will have a special emphasis on training Italian church leaders with theological education and Kimberly will be involved in women’s ministry. “Men’s and Women’s ministries will be a major focus for us,” says Massimo.
They also have a heart for evangelism and will seek to befriend Italians through hospitality and common interests like cooking and sports as well as offering seeker Bible studies and seminars on topics of interest.
