January and February are interesting months for ministry in Rome. Most students "disappear". They are studying for exams and spending time with family. They re-appear in early March. As staff we spend January and February in language, in Bible classes and trying to connect with students whenever they do pop-up. :-) We don't see each other often.
My trip to the US for the memorial services of my grandfather and my weeks of being really sick with colds and flus have made me feel more disconnected than normal from ministry in Rome.
We all gathered together this past week to re-focus after the disconnectedness of the winter months. It was a powerful time as one of our staff members shared about taking a student who became a believer this past summer onto campus to share with his friends. Sam asked questions of Nicola's friends. In a debrief time, Nicola brought up that he, himself was probably for sharing with his own friends because he knows them better.
This is exactly what we are praying for in Italy! We are praying for Young European Movement Leaders. We want students to own the vision of reaching their campus, their country and the world!
So we are going into Spring... Join me in praying for Young Italian Movement Leaders.
