We are here and ready to serve you this morning! It’s cloudy and comfortable and we shouldn’t have any rain for the next two hours! Come see us and fuel up for the trail! God bless you!

We had another great day on the trail today!
We met so many great people, we stayed an hour and half longer and we got wiped out of trail provisions!
We met two ladies who were so inspired by what we’ve been doing, that they too now will be doing the same thing on the trail!
We met these two guys who insisted we try their bikes! They were the nicest guys. We were truly blessed today.
Go, Vanessa, Go!!!

It’s been amazing week of VBS here in Padova, Italy!
We will have more pics to come! We just wrapped our last day and we can say, that today as we closed, 11 youth attending VBS this week chose to give their lives to Christ! 🙌
We had 5 nations of children represented in VBS this week and it was a blast! We are so very blessed to have been able to come here and get to know the youth and the volunteers, spend time with Pat and Brenda Mahar and learn about this region. What they are doing in the field, is truly reaching the unreached! may God continue to bless them and the entirety of the ICF church.

Can we pack them in our suitcases and bring them home? What a blessing to the VBS program here in Padova. These young people have really made a difference this week! We are so grateful for them.

Days 1-2 of VBS off to a great start! We have students from age 5 to 17! We had a 5 year old girl who just arrived from Uganda this past week and she has joined in and learned the Bible verse on the first day! What an accomplishment!

Today, we celebrated our Lord and Savior in praise and worship and getting into the Word at the ICF church of Padova. We were very warmly greeted by the kind people of the church.
Pastor Patrizio (Pat) called our team forward to be introduced to the church.
Pastor Tom preached a message to the congregation and Pastor Mary preached the children’s church message with the help of Tyler and a few of the mission team members.
Both pastors preached with the assistance of a translator.
Tyler opened prayer in children’s with the assistance of a translator.
After church, we enjoyed some really delicious pizza and headed back to the church to set up for VBS! We have VBS signups for children up to the age of 16/17!
Please join us in prayer for a great week of VBS, that the children are reached with the Gospel in a new way and they receive all that we have for them this week! (see next posts for pastor/Tyler videos.)
