Saying Good Bye

Well, we have come to end of the journey for this summer. It has been a good one. I can't believe that it is over, but the Lord has blessed in a great way. I was able to be with the Homans for the weekend, and it is always a blessing to be with them. We went to the meeting down in Naples. It was great to see the people of the church again. We had a great time of fellowship. Bro. Tony Spicer, who is the preacher for the revival meetings, was only able to preach a short message, due to health, but did well. The Lord gave him enough strength to finish. Please pray for him as he will be preaching all month in the church. I was able to go to one of the Catacombs on Saturday. It was great to see something that is a part of my heritage, and it made me thankful at the same time for the sacrifices that have been made. Afterwards, Bro. Homan and I went and passed out tracts at one of the metro stations. We then went to the church where the apostle Paul is supposedly burried. It was sad to see people kneeling at his tomb, and praying to him hoping to get his prayers answered. Afterwards, Bro. Homan showed me a building, that they would like to purchase in the future, to hold their church services. It is in a great spot, right by the metro, where there would be a lot of people. Please pray for them and this matter. We then went back to the house and printed and folded tracts, which is quit a process (I have video showing this at the bottom of this page). Sunday morning, Bro. Homan and I left the house early to go pass out tracts at a market down town. It went well, and the Lord allowed us to pass out 600 Gospel tracts. We had the morning service and Bro. Homan gave me the opportunity to preach, for which I am thankful. I left Monday morning for the states and I have arrived safely. Thank you for your prayers. It was a great summer! Some of the highlights include: being able to pass out over 6,000 pieces of Gospel literature to the people of Italy, being able to preach nine times, learning much from the missionaries that are there, being with the people, and knowing how to pray more intelligently for the people of Italy, the missionaries, and the churches. The Lord caused me to have a deeper appreciation for prayer and for God's Word. I can honestly say I have never appreciated prayer in my life as much as I have this summer. Please keep praying for the people of Italy, that God would break through; for Kelly Childers and the children (this is Bro. Childers wife and family) as they try to get their visa; for Brandon Cook and Josh Ornsby, as they will begin to raise support to go to Italy; for national pastors, to take these churches; that God would soften the hearts of the Italian people, that they would be won to Christ. Thank you for your prayers this summer. I ask that you would continue to pray for me as I go to finish my senior year of college. God bless you all for your prayers.
