- Nearly 60,000,000 souls
- 90% of Italians identify themselves as Roman Catholic; although only about 1/3 of these would describe themselves as active members
- Only 5% of Italy’s 33,500 communities have an established evangelical witness

Ministering in Italy – PHASE ONE

- Serve under leadership of an independent Baptist missionary (Jamie Homan) in Rome. Brother Homan has established both an English speaking and an Italian work.
- Learn the Italian language and adapt to the culture.
- Win English speaking people to Christ in Rome and disciple them while we learn the Italian language. (Rome has a large English-speaking population).
- Seek the Lord’s direction to where He would have us establish a church.

Ministering in Italy – PHASE TWO

- Reach Italian people with the gospel and disciple them.
- Plant independent Baptist churches.
- Commit biblical truth to faithful Italian men who will be able to teach others also.
