Worship in Feltre

Pastor Dave and his wife Marianne

Carlo shares passionately with some locals

Recently we were paid a visit by a team from Calvary Chapel Koinonia Fellowship from Rochester, New York. We had a great time getting to know the team. It is incredible, the unity that we find in Christ, as the last of them departed back to to the states this morning it was difficult to say good bye. We are so blessed that as believers we are in a very literal sense brother and sisters in Christ. We were blessed to host Pastor Dave Barbero and his wife Marianne at our home, they were a tremendous blessing and encouragement to Sandra and I. We had the opportunity to pick their minds in regards to parenting, ministry and personal testimonies and workings of God in our lives.

They arrived in Italy almost 12 days ago, they spent some time visiting Calvary Chapels throughout Italy. Their journey started in Rome, then to Treviso with mark and Renata and they finished their trip in Montebelluna and Feltre.

We did some evangelical outreaches, planting some seeds in the hearts of many people. We look forward to seeing the fruit of those seeds that were planted. Continue to keep those things in your prayers with us. Pray for the team, many of them went home with a lot to pray about. We would love to see the Lord raise up more people with a heart to see Italians come to know the truth about Christ, to be set free from religion and find an everlasting relationship that is offered through Christ. I want to close with a quote from Ravi Zacharias, "Sometimes religion can be the greatest stumbling block for people to find true spirituality."
