Hello everyone...
I'm sorry if I could not update the blog untill now, but we are having a week off in a small house on the one of the most beatiful cost of Sicily. The Lord has been good with us and He gave a chance to us to spend a week of rest and fun with our little "Terrorist" Sofia!!

Last Saturday night it was Amazing!! About 50 people came to Jesus generation night and we had a great time with the Lord Jesus. All the youth enjoed the night and almost all of them received something from God!! Praise Him!!

The Lord finally saied Yes to our first "Mission Trip" to England!! I still cannot belive it!! 12 people already signed for the trip and about a week ago we made the ticket!! 6 boys and 6 gierls will go for the first time in UK and it will be the first experience outiside Italy!!!

We will be in Uk from the 8th to the 18th of September!! We would like to visit Sheffield, Coventry and Oxford spending about 2/3 days to each one of these city.
I belive it will be great to for these guys to get close with other Brother and Sister and to see what the Lord is doing over there.

Plese pray for this trip and for Saturday night.... it is very important for us.

I'll write you more as soon as possible!!
Marco

Finally we finished to work!!We started ourfirst Saturday night outside!!
We puted tables, lights and a big screen!! All the youths are very happy to have a place like it where every saturday night they can gather togheter havig fun, food and worship!!
We just start a study about the Da Vinci Code. Here in Italy it is a very big deel. Lots of people are deceived from it and especially among the new generation.

We are using a Christian dvd and the Bible against this huge lie the enemy is puting in people's minde.

Please pray that the Lord will open the eyes and the hearts of these people and He will give us wisdom to find the right way to share the love and the true of God to them!!

Once again the Lord has been very good to us!! He gave us 5 Fantastic days with Gapastione's team from California. It was a time of fun and build friendship with all of them and what the Lord has done in this short time was amazing!!!

We have been spending this time with the youth of Jesus generation giving to God the opportunity to work in each one of us throught prayer, worship, testimony and even fun and food!!! We'll pray for more time like this next year hoping that our Father will open the doors for us to be togheter again!!

Thank you guys for all the huge blessing you have been to us!!!

First of all, hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been able to update lately. It has been crazy. We were in Englad for almost a week to join The Mission Order conference in Sheffield. It was a refreshing time for us to hear from God and retreat. God has been so faithful to us and giving us words of encouragement for the future. During the conferece we were reading through and thinking about Phillipians 4:13, when Paul says that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. It was amazing how God spoke to us through this verse. Cinzia's parents were commissioned and became part of the mission order. We were also able to take Graziella with us. She is a great member of our core team. It was her first time in England and she was a little shocked by how different the culture was there. Even though the driving and the marmite was a little crazy for her, she left England feeling that she grew in her relationship with God.

Sophia really enjoyed playing with the English kids. I was amazed to see how easy it was for them to just play even though most of them had never met and didn't speak the same language. What a clear picture of how God's people in the church should be.

Last week, we had the joy of having a visiting pastor, his wife, and another couple from Calvary Chapel, Debrecean, Hungary. It was a week of fun. It was good to spend time with them together again.

RIGHT NOW we have a team from California with us and we are having fun. Even though they are here for a short time (only 5 days) it feels like we have known each other for a long time. Please pray for a youth night we have organized for this Thursday night with some music, sharing and a time to hang out with the youth.

FORZA ITALIA!!!!
I am very sorry for you and for your teams that are already home and enjoying their families while OUR TEAM IS IN THE FINALS!!! If any of you in Germany and England need some comfort, I could send you some pizza and kleenex, and of course OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU! (I know it's hard, hang in there!)
