Outreach Milan

My friends! 

I'm sorry that I am so terrible at the blogging thing! I wish it was easier to remember to do! I hope people actually read this! Haha

I have been in Italy for over a month and am loving it! I spent the first 4 weeks in a little town close to Milan. My team and I stayed with an amazing family! Whom I became so close with and will cherish their friendships forever! We did lots of ministry with a small Baptist church, we built amazing relationships with lots of the youth and young adults within that church. 

An great story!

We met a young man doing a soccer ministry in a city outside if Milan. He didn't grow up in the church and had never even been to a church. We all became very close with him and invited him to come to a youth event with us. He came and was so excited about the event and people he met. He became very interested about the church and who God is. He continued to go to church services and started to be discipled by our team and other people in the church. One night at a youth event God took ahold of his heart and he made the commitment to have a relationship with Jesus! We are so excited for him and what God has and will continue to do in his life! 

I am now in a small city called Acquaviva Delle Fonte, which is in southern Italy. We're doing ministry with a young/small Pentecostal church who has an amazing heart for the city and the kingdom of God. They make us all our meals and want to serve is anyway they can, and in return we serve them anyway we can! We'll be here for the next 2 weeks then we head to Rome! 

I'm so excited about what God has done here so far! And can't wait to see what else He has planned. 

A Bible verse I got today for a young couple in the park is 2 Thessalonians 3:3-5 : 

But The Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. And we have confidence in The Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command. May The Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ. 

Please keep my team in your prayers. With ministry, travels, and small accounts with each other. (It's not always easy to live and see the same people everyday) that God would continue to speak into our lives and that we would listen and follow His call. 

Love Brenna.
