We had always felt called to send missionaries & church planters.

In March 2023, God called our family to go too.

Over the past few years, He has been stirring something deep in our hearts — a real burden for people who feel distant from Him, disillusioned by religion and rigidity, hungry for something authentic - something real. After much prayer, confirmation, and opened doors, we’ve been invited to step into that calling in Italy this Fall.

This Fall, our family will be relocating to Central Italy to partner with the Apostolic Church of Italy (Chiesa Apostolica in Italia). Together, we will serve in discipling believers and helping plant and revitalize churches across the region — from Follonica to Pisa, throughout the entire nation, continent, to the ends of the Earth.

Italy, and much of Europe, is surprisingly unreached and often considered ‘post-Christian’. Many have walked away from faith, not because they’ve rejected God, but because they’ve only experienced religion without relationship. Our mission is simple: to share the Good News of Jesus — not as rules to follow, but as an invitation into restored relationship, freedom, and new life.

We’re stepping out in faith, trusting God to provide every step of the way no matter the cost.

There are several significant expenses ahead as we prepare to go — relocation, housing setup, visa costs, travel, and ministry needs. Our goal is to raise $3,500/mo in recurring giving support & $50,000 in one-time expenses by July 31. These funds will help establish a strong foundation for our family and missions efforts, directly supporting the work of discipleship and church planting in cities like Follonica, Piombino, Lucca, Viareggio, Pisa, and beyond.

Every prayer and ever gift, no matter the size, plays such a meaningful role (practical and symbolic) in helping us say YES to what God is doing here. That being said, recurring monthly gifts would be the *most helpful* right now as our sending agency (FMI) needs to see 3 continual months of recurring support before launching us to the field.

More than anything, we invite you to be part of this story. His story. His plan for "every tribe, tongue, and nation" (Revelation 7:9) - just our own - "until all have heard" (Matthew 28:19) the good news of Jesus' love for us and soon coming return.

Your support isn’t just helping our family make an international move or support an exciting adventure abroad — it’s helping bring real hope and light to people searching for truth amidst misinformation and abuse, community to those who feel alone and desperate, and the message of Jesus to places longing for renewal and revitalization.

If God puts it on your heart to give, we would be so incredibly grateful. And if not financially, we deeply value your prayers as we step into this calling.

Thank you for believing in what God is doing in Italy & across broader Europe. He is on the move there and we can't wait for you to see what we're seeing - a glimpse of hope and light in spiritually dark places. It's an honor and a privilege that our lives would be witnesses to His love.
