What an incredible time in Rome, Italy 🇮🇹 this past week leading worship at Inspire Global Sisterhood and then preaching at International Christian Fellowship Rome - ICF Rome again for our good friend Pastor Jennifer Pasquale! So many lives changed by the Power of The Holy Spirit and the message of Jesus Christ!
We often get the question, “why Europe,” with a small amount of disdain in their voice. “Isn’t that just a vacation for you?” Isn’t this just a “chance to go to Italy?”
To that my response is this: So many times, we think of “missions” as being in places of severe poverty and misfortune. And while those places are no doubt mission fields, what about the people who have “things,” the ones who have “religion” but they don’t have Jesus??
I would say that many people across Europe are not necessarily suffering from monetary poverty, but they’re definitely suffering from Spiritual Poverty. Many know “religion,” they know about the pope and the Catholic Church, but SO MANY are deprived of the knowledge of Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
That’s just as much a mission field as a third world country!
Jesus called us to reach ALL PEOPLE with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
We are called to build PEOPLE and to BUILD THE KINGDOM!! So… That’s what we do when we go to Italy, to Spain, to Austria and all other European nations. Because, THEY NEED JESUS, and as long as the Lord continues to open doors for us to go to these places, we will continue to do our part to reach “the least of these!”
A huge THANK YOU to all of you who support us financially and prayerfully! Also, thank you so much to our River Church family… Ya’ll are awesome! Courtney and I love you guys so much! All of you have a part to play in all we do for Jesus.
