Well, December is here and the year is almost over! I wanted to throw a few prayer requests out in your direction for this week. But first, let me share with you a praise. Last week at our Encounter Coffeehouse, we had a friend of ours sing some Brazilian jazz. The night was really great and we had about 30 people show up for it! Since then I have made a few new friends and God has really opening up opportunities to enter into the lives of these people! This Wednesday, I am teaching a discipleship seminar for the Life Group participants of our cell church. It will basically be a theological introduction to the topic, but it is a chance for us to go a bit deeper with the Life Group participants than we normally do on a weekly basis. There will be some friends tuning in (through a video conference) from the church I just recently visited in Bari. It should be a pretty interactive setting and hopefully everything will go as planned! Also please be in prayer for an upcoming conference this weekend 2 hours away from Ancona. D.A. Carson will be speaking at the GBU conference and I am excited to go and connect up with many brothers and sisters that I have not seen for some time and make some new friends! There are about 350 people registered for this conference and it should be a great time to worship together!

Please be in prayer this week about:

  • Ongoing relationships that we are making, that they would continue to grow deeper!
  • The discipleship seminar on Wednesday, that we would continue to grow together.
  • The GBU conference this weekend, that God would increase our awareness of the breadth of his Kingdom in Italy!
