Today, we hopped on the train to Castellammare to serve at Caritas. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the staff and given some yummy treats. We then learned that Caritas was born out of helping poor people through the love of Jesus. We served by cleaning bathrooms, cleaning the kitchen, and cleaning the walkway. After our cleaning duties were done, we joined some of the community for lunch. Later that night, we all helped out with a youth camp.

It was good to have some space and time to see what the Lord has been teaching us here in Italy. To finish off our class day,...

All the glory to God as all we have done is show up with open hands and hearts and get to move with what the Holy Spirit is already doing here!   This morning our “yes” looked like setting our alarms for a 6am prayer meeting at the church. Not only did we show up but so did lots of eager church members hungry for the presence of God and for growth in their prayer lives.   Seth Barnes led us in getting uncomfortable. He encouraged us to get in small...
