June 3 to July 23: Our ministry in Napoli

ALL CHURCH CONFERENCE

I have been preparing for a 4 night all-church conference entitled:

"The Wonders of our Salvation".

We expect large crowds as so many people want to discover the greatness of their faith in Christ.

We are praying that many non-churched friends and family will attend as we journey though the Bible and they will see for themselves "the wonders of this Salvation and of our Savior"

Weekly preaching.

It will be wonderful to preach "live and in person from NAPOLI" rather from our home as I have been doing on a regular basis now that we're in America. I will have all my sermons prepared beforehand because when we get to Napoli there will be little prepartion time available.

Youth Summer camp

As usual I will once again be directing and speaking at our very popular youth camp. July 5th to the 11th will be our week dedicated to preaching and teaching many who have never heard the great news of salvation in Christ.

We have two great teams coming from our partnering churches in California. Paul Spurlock heading the team from Twin

PASTORAL ASSISTANCE PROJECT

Now that we have completed our ministry in Napoli and are ministering in America, we are still connected with our churches and so can you as you help our pastoral staff minister full-time.

We have set up an on-line giving program with ITALIAN MINISTRIES.

Why is this project so important?

So few evangelical churches in Italy have a full-time pastor. Many of these are simply “self-taught” or “self-ordained.” Of course, this lack of solid training keeps the typical church in a state of ignorance and bondage to tradition or legalism.

God has so blessed us to have solidly trained men who are also FULL-TIME and can dedicate themselves to prayer, study and effective leadership in the church. However, the economic situation of Napoli (EUROSTAT 2017 shows our area of Napoli at 57% unemployment)and along with the religious context, makes it very difficult to effectively keep these men supported.

Your giving will allow these pastors continue to train in key areas such as theology, preaching, counseling, leadership, church strategies, youth and more.

HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT THESE PASTORS:

Your one time, or monthly gift sent to ITALIAN MINISTRIES will enable our pastoral staff to face the uncertain economic times in Napoli with greater confidence. This wonderful partnership with Italian Ministries will be an incredible blessing to our pastoral staff in Italy.
