The People!

We will spend time planning our specific projects and preparing to be a part of the Italian culture.  But, more than anything else, we want to begin praying for the people we'll be serving.  Here's a brief introduction:

Danilo (one of the Italian youth leaders) and me sharing with the youth group about our project

The church is about 60% Italian-speaking and 40% English-speaking (mostly military families).  There is quite a mixture of Italians and foreigners (mostly Americans).  They are excited to have us join them for a week in April!
