<p>What a privilege to be at New Song Christian Fellowship yesterday to be officially welcomed on-board as one of their 2012 missionaries! We’re thrilled to have another church partner helping to send us forward on our mission to Italy. Thank you &#8211; partners and friends &#8211; for helping us take the gospel to Italy and Sicily!</p>
</div>

<p><strong>Well, the next phase in our preparation is&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Just a few weeks away! Through a ministry partner in Italy (see short video, <a title="Jonathan Gilmore" href="http://youtu.be/72boRi0tiM0" target="_blank">Jonathan Gilmore</a>) we have been invited to attend a church planter’s conference next month in Naples. This event will be a national gathering of pastors representing various church- planting efforts in Italy.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p>This ten-day mission will help us make valuable connections and gain first-hand perspective! Afterwards, we&#8217;ll take an excursion farther south to meet pastors in Sicily &#8211; an open door to forge partnerships with Italian church leaders in our future mission field. But wait, that’s not all&#8230; <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<ul>
<li>This trip will afford us the opportunity to <strong>assess housing</strong> possibilities,</li>
<li>Get an inside &#8211; sneak peek &#8211; at the <strong>Italian school system</strong> for the kids,</li>
<li>Helping us <strong>determine the city</strong> we’ll be moving to this fall! Awesome!</li>
</ul>
<p>We want you to have a part in this strategic next phase of life and ministry. Would you consider helping us cut the cost of this next-step, so that we don’t have to dip into designated resources (e.g. our September launch fund) which has been amassing through ongoing monthly support?</p>
<p>We need approx. $3,400 to pay for food, conference, travel, some lodging (a house is being provided for half of the trip, which helps keep costs low), and care for the kids. Below are details on how to make a one-time contribution; thank you in advance for your prayers and partnership!</p>
