Sorry its been a few weeks since our last post. We have been gearing up for the largest summer project to date. We just welcomed 35 students and staff from America who will be spending the summer investing time on campus sharing the gospel with Italian students. The Lord always seems to do tremendous things during these four weeks, so we appreciate your prayer for the group that their time would be fruitful. Below is a picture of the students receiving some training from Rodney, one of our team members. We decided to do it from the historic castle, which overlooks the entire city and its surrounding areas.

We are in the middle of our first week welcoming a group of American spring-breakers who decided to not go to the beach, but rather come to Italy and serve along side of us. This week our alma mater school, The University of Central Florida, is joining us.

One of the main things we try to accomplish while they are here is to find creative ways for them to interact with Italians at the University and engage in spiritual conversations that hopefully lead to sharing the gospel. So for the past two days, we’ve setup large photo exhibits that allow students to come and observe. While observing, we engage in conversation asking how these pictures relate to their life, and their relationship with God. It has opened up some neat opportunities for conversation that we would not have had otherwise. Pray for more opportunities like this in the coming weeks! Next week we will host a group of 25 from Mississippi.
