What we do to reach our community
Since the very beginning of our church we understood the best way to reach the heart of the people around us was to establish a personal relationship of trust and acceptance.
With this in mind, we organized events in our town that could serve the needs of our community as well as to share our faith in a bold but not agressive way, such as free English lessons, hosting families in our church buildings when they need a big space for their events, art shows, etc.
Among all the activities we organized, the most valued was our English Camps, where we gave free English lessons to students from 8 to 80 years old, but speaking about Jesus and His Kingdom.
What do we want to acheive
Italians are very "relational people": so the best way to speak to them about Jesus is being their friends, inviting them in a "safe" place such as... your house. That's the reason why we aim to have what we call "rabbit churches" - or small groups - in each of the 18 towns around our area. All this "rabbit churches" will receive spiritual food meeting togheter during the week in their locations. On Sundays they will come togheter to worship the Lord in a joyful reunion.
Our podcast
We do not want to announce Jesus only in our area, as we understand the deep need of all our nation. And we do believe the technology we use in our every day life must be used for the Kingdom of God.
So we set up a website and a
podcast to let a much wider number of people read or listen to our Sunday messages.
In a short period of time our podcast reached the top of the Italian podcast chart in the "Christianity" section.
Statistic says at least 30 people are reading our website pages and 100 people are downloading our podcast messages each day. Our podcast is consistently among the top 10 christian podcast in our country, and is normally in a higher position than the Vatican one.
