Ciao Ragazzi! CCBC Italy.
We have concluded our Spring 2016 semester here at CCBC Italy! It's been my 9th semester on staff here and Jenn's 1st semester on staff. We watched 4 students graduates this semester at our campus. There were three Americans and 1 Italian. Two of the three American actually did 3 semesters here! It was a joy to see how the Lord continually called them back And how they finished strong at our campus. And we had one of our Italian students Stefano graduate as well! It's always a blessing to see young Italian guys come And finish the program here with a Greater understanding of God's word. When he was up there I couldn't help but See how the Lord used His word and The school to shape his life in a greater way. Pray for more Italians to come and study God's Word here at the Bible College. There truly is such a lack of God's word here in Italy. Outreach To Siracusa, Italy. Jenn and I were able to lead a team of 3 Italians to Sicily to help the first Calvary Chapel ever planted there! They started about a year and a half Ago and have a small group of People attending every week. It was such a blessing to come along side of Seby (the pastor), And Laura his wife in their new church plant and encourage them And the few believers that have begun to attend the church. Seby asked me to teach the Sunday service and Jenn and the rest of the students were able to help out with kids ministry. It was so cool to see a new fresh work in another part of Italy! But we felt such a burden for this city and prayerfully will be able To do an outreach there every semester bringing students to Encourage the church and reach out to evangelize a city In which the Gospel is definitely lacking. Follow this church on instagram and being to Pray for Seby & Laura as they continue to faithfully Teach God's word. CC Montebelluna. Lately I've had the privilege to be able to teach At Calvary Montebelluna. I taught on a Sunday and another Time on a Wednesday night. It was such a blessing to share what the Lord Has been speaking to me in this season. I really do love teaching God's word And it's amazing to see Him continually Giving more and more opportunities to Do it. Jake and Jenn.
