Study Abroad in Italy | 2 Months | May 2024
What you’ll study
Meet Apostle Paul – the ultimate adventurer! 🌍 A Roman citizen, he lived life on the edge, writing chunks of the New Testament, surviving crazy shipwrecks, and even dodging assassination attempts. But here’s the real twist: he went on some heart-pounding, risk-filled missions to plant churches. 🚀
Now, picture this: Emperor Nero, a total madman, was out to get Christ-followers! 😱 These two characters, Paul and Nero, they’re like the ultimate opposites – one showed us how to lead like a champ, the other… not so much.
We’re not just talking history here; we’re talking real-life lessons on leadership. 🤓 We’re gonna step into their world, follow in their footsteps, and dive into stories of other leaders who’ve left their mark on the world. 🚶♂️💼 This isn’t your typical history class; it’s an adventure in understanding how to lead – whether that means being a hero like Paul or avoiding the pitfalls like Nero. So, if you’re ready for an epic journey into the past, let’s do this!

You’ll have the chance to engage with Italian students, witness the architectural marvels of ancient Rome, and delve into the historical and spiritual significance of this beautiful country. -
Rome and Beyond
Your adventure begins in Rome, where you’ll explore iconic sites such as the Vatican, the Pantheon, and the Colosseum, immersing yourself in a world more than 2,000 years old. From there, a scenic train ride takes you to the charming beach town of Rocella Ionica. -
Community and Ministry
For six weeks, you’ll call Centro Emmaus your home. Here, you’ll become a part of a vibrant community of fellow followers of Jesus. You’ll have the incredible opportunity to connect with the locals, listen to their stories, and join hands with them in sharing the love of Christ with the community. -
Sicilian Adventure
In July, our team will set sail for Sicily, where your learning journey continues. You’ll partner with a local church plant, explore the historic ruins of Syracuse, and further immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Italian culture. -
Academic Enrichment
Mornings will be dedicated to academic pursuits, with a focus on the study of New Testament leaders and their counterparts in the Roman Empire. You can earn unlimited academic credits through a variety of core classes, all while being guided by exceptional instructors, facilitators, and mentors who are dedicated to your personal and spiritual growth.
