Ministering in Italy – PHASE ONE

- Serve under leadership of an independent, fundamental, Bible-believing 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

- Plant independent, fundamental, Bible-believing Baptist churches.

Last Monday I was interviewed by the talk show hosts of the Rise and Shine morning show on WBLW, a fundamental Christian radio station and ministry of Grace Baptist Church in Gaylord, MI. To listen to the interview click here.

The 25 minute interview included questions regarding my testimony, my family, the call of God, and ministering in Italy. It was a wonderful opportunity to not only share our ministry but give the gospel to a large listening audience.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” – 1 Peter 3:15
