Holmes in Sicily

This week we are working with a team from OMS UK! They are here learning ways to share the gospel, and stepping way out of their comfort zones. Pray with us for this opportunity for people to hear the gospel for possibly the very first time!

Summer in Sicily is here and we are enjoying the extra family time that brings.

This week we had our monthly Catania team meeting to discuss and pray over our ministries and each other.

On Sunday, our friend Mario was able to show his ministry talents of balloon storytelling with the lesson of the “Armor of God” found in Ephesians 6.

We are about half way through the kids summer break from school. They start back around mid September. Without air conditioned schools, it is necessary to wait until the heat begins to subside. We have ,however, began to collect books and other school supplies so we do not have to fight the rush the week of school beginning.

Josh is still managing and working at the bike shop, Agape Bici during the week as he is mentoring an intern this summer.

How is your summer going? Are you back to school already?

Thank you to for taking time from his family and life to help raise money for . It was an amazing experience to cycle through the entire island of Sicily and see places that I haven’t seen and not to many people get to experience. From being chased by dogs, seeing amazing landscapes and having great conversations about how good God is, this will go down as one of the most memorable weeks. If you haven’t already, consider visiting his page and click the links in his bio to give towards the fundraiser. 100% will be used toward Agape Bici so work can continue in Catania, Sicily.

Today we travel home to Sicily!

We have had an incredible three weeks in Arkansas with friends and family. Our church family took such good care of us from allowing us to stay in the church parsonage (stocked full of good food!), as well as the many meals and coffee shop visits!

We love you all.. see you soon!
