American College Students in an Italian High School

This week is the fourth week of classes for the spring semester of students. They have completed their first two classes of Missions and Evangelism. In this week we take the students out to the streets of Pordenone to preach the Gospel. This year we have been given the opportunity to go to a nearby High School and share about life in the United States. The teachers asked that we have our students share about their lives and routines, which includes church, youth group and the grace of God in their lives. For many of the high school students the idea that church is more than just something that their grandparents do is a foreign  concept. Along with the students we were able to talk to several different teachers who asked us point blank what we believed and what we were all about. I was also asked to meet the headmaster and share with him what our school was about and what are students are here in Italy for. We will be returning to the school again on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please pray that us missionaries and the students would be able to make contact and build relationships with the students as well as the teachers. Some of our students have become Facebook friends with some of the Italian students and have already talked about getting together after this week of ministry.  Please pray that we will be lights in the darkness and that they would not see just a group of Americans but that they would see Christ. I will post an update at the end of the week. Thank you so much for your prayers!!!!
