Take a Prayer Trip to Italy
Come and pray onsite with insight for God to ignite hearts in all of Italy.
TAKE A PRAYER JOURNEY TO ITALY
No movement of God has taken place outside of extraordinary prayer. Unengaged, Unreached People Groups, by definition, are peoples where there is no Light among the darkness. Followers of Jesus who carry the light of the Gospel and pray the Spirit of God into towns and villages play a key role in preparing the soil for Gospel seeds to take root.
Come prepare the way for the Lord. Come pray that these people will have followers of Jesus committed to starting a church planting movement among them.
