Hello everyone,
I would like to share with you what the Lord has done during this past week end.
For the first time in our lives we had the opportunity to organize a youth week end and spend 3 days
Making new friends and giving to God more chance to “rebuild” what has been destroyed in people’ lives (Isa. 58:11,12).
It has been one of our dreams to see youth and young adult together with the same desire to be close to God and worship HIM as one body and the Lord has made it in reality!!
What the Lord has done it was beyond our expectations! During these days people have been healed, saved and encouraged from our Lord Jesus Christ!!
I cannot describe how wonderful it was His presence among us using words. Every time we were gathering together ready to worship Him and spending time praying for each other or sharing from His Word it was hard to close the meeting even after 2 hours!!
Everyone wanted to stay there to receive more from Jesus.
We had a really great time of fun and fellowship with this guys and at the end of the week end no one wanted go home!! Praise God!! He is so GOOD!!
All the people who has been with us for the event asked already to do another one soon…. Can you imagine? This generation is hungry for the Lord and every time they have such of experience with Him they realized how important and real is Jesus today!! He is not a religion but He is the Only one who can give an abundant life! (John.10:10).I would like to give thank to Jesus first and to all the brothers and sisters around the world who have been praying for this week end!!! May the Lord bless you reachly.

Sorry for the late!!
It has been a very crazy time for me and Cinzia, But I don't have enought words to describe to you how good and great is our God.
We had another FANTASTIC week with a team from Calvary Chapel Bible College Europe!
5 wonderful American gierls who have been working very hard helping us in different ways.
It was a special time God gave to us and we will keep it in our hearts for ever.
May the LORD bless you reachly and give to you what your hearts desires.
We hope to see all of you soon again. You are AMMMAAZZIINNGGG!!!

What can I say? It has been a wonderful time! Past. Paul, Palm, Lidia, Jessica, Peter, Titty, Timmy, and Michel have been a great encouragement and blessing for me and Cinzia.
We had a such a lovely time together that it is difficult to find the right words to describe it.
We have been praying, worship, sharing, eating, playing and lots of other things and I can tell you that in all these things Jesus was in our middle.

He has been the One Who made a normal week in something Special.

Paul and Peter helped me and Cinzia on Saturday night with the youth and all of them have been touched from the Lord.
On Sunday night after Paul preached in church the Holy Spirit worked so much in people lives that we had to stay and pray for them for about a hour after the service finished.
God is so good that He will never finished to surprise me in doing more than I can imagine.

Tha kids are really amazing! They have been the best in everything we did during this week and they anjoyed very much to go and visit the Volcano Etna and swimming on the beach.

I will never stop to give thank and glory to God for the blessing we received from all the brothers and sisters He is sending here in Sicily to help us in everyway possible!!

Lots of love and Sicilian Blessing to all of you.
Marco&Cinzia

Okay so it has been a long time since I have updated this blog. It has been great watching Marco and Cinzia keeping up the updates from Sicily, however, I really have not had time. So what's been going on? Firstly we have had a son - hooray!

Isaac Joshua Western was born at 3am to the second on Saturday the 1st April 2006. He is doing well and is healthy. Andrea is doing fine and it has been great taking him out in his buggy, walking him to the shops and on the bole hills. He is soooo gorgeous. And yes I know I will be biased, but look at him - he is amazing.

I've still not got the hang of the crying, nor of the nappies - man they are grim. Andrea is amazing always calm when I panic with him crying - she is a fantastic mum. We've had Andrea's parents and her sisters and brother visiting and also my mum, too. My dad and mum will come and visit this weekend and all our friends are being amazing - we have had so many gifts and cards and loads of people offering to cook us meals. A massive thankyou to all of you.

Up until just a week or so before the birth we had been living with some great friends of ours John and Liz. The plan when we got back to England was for me to look for some work and Andrea and I to get the house sorted asap - plastering, tiling, painting , carpets etc.

However, God had other plans and I got a job almost straight away with an amazing company called TechnoPhobia. They are a web design and consultancy firm based in the Workstation in Sheffield. This has meant that Andrea has done most of the work on the house which looks fantastic.
