Oh how my heart longs to be in Italy, especially since Kyle is there for the next week. When I first traveled to Italy in 2005, I had no clue how much I would grow to deeply love this place and its people. Over the years, the Lord has certainly given me a genuine love for Italians and has burdened my heart for them to know Jesus Christ. Our church spent some time praying this morning for the 64 staff and students that are in Italy over the next week. Tears swelled up in my eyes as we were praying because I so desire for this nation to return to its first love. I ask that you too would spend some time in this coming week to pray for the Italians: that our team could be clear in its presentation of the gospel, and that Christ would be irresistible to Italians. May they desire to know Christ and seek a personal relationship with Him.
Since I have not been to Italy since 2009, I decided to take a trip by visiting memory lane. I may not physically be there, but I am definitely there in spirit. I gathered a few photos from the previous Spring Breaks spent in Italy. I MISS IT SO MUCH! These pictures made me realize how much I love this country: the people, the food, the culture. I miss it all! Hope you enjoy and please pray for the Italians!
