::A few words about Italy::

The Church has lost millions
of adherents to New Age thinking
and materialistic secularism, so
much so that the Pope has called
Italy a mission field.

The Occult is widespread,
and there are estimated to be 100,000
full-time consulting magicians in Italy —
nearly three times the number
of Catholic priests.

A new poll reveals that
a divorce happens
every four minutes
in a country once regarded
as a bastion of marriage.

“It’s a country that has lost a little of its
will for the future. There is more fear than hope.”
~Walter Veltroni, Rome’s mayor

70% of Italians from the ages of 20 to 30
still live at home, condemning the young to
an underproductive and prolonged adolescence.
Italians need the hope, love, and grace that Jesus Christ gives.
God is raising up laborers to go and share this love with the people in Italy.
Pray for more laborers.
Pray for those who are already there.
Pray for those who are going.
Pray for those who are sending the laborers through prayer and finances.
Pray that God would do miracles and take this country back for Him and His glory!
