National Elders in the Church in Udine

The Church in Udine has officially been passed from the missionary leadership to the leadership of two national elders. For the last 6 years  a team of missionaries have been working to plant a church and raise up elders to lead the church. This month the missionaries left the church in the hands of the Italians. At the same time a new church plant has been started in a city called Pordenone which is about an hours drive from Udine. It is so wonderful to see the work that God is doing in both cities. To watch a church start from nothing more than a group of American missionaries meeting on Sundays to a full Italian church body that has Sunday service, Thursday night Bible study, biweekly women's Bible studies, and weekly prayer meetings. Praise the Lord for all He is doing and will do!!!
