2022 Update

Greetings to you dearest families and friends, we send you many blessings from Siracusa-Sicily.

I would like to share with you this beautiful passage in the Bible that has been for many years a great encouragement for me and my family.

Psalm 34:7-9

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and He delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. Fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

 

 

Greetings to you dearest families and friends, we send you many blessings from Siracusa-Sicily.

I would like to share with you this beautiful passage in the Bible that has been for many years a great encouragement for me and my family.

Psalm 34:7-9

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and He delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. Fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

 

After a long and hot summer, today we are enjoyng some fresh and cooler air; fall has finally arrived! This past summer was truly a blessing for my wife Terry and I.   Italy finally started to slowly remove most of their "crazy" covid restrictions.  We have had the blessing to host in our apartment several missionaries in the past months, including a dear couple that we have known for several years and worked together in Central America some years ago. We have also hosted a few times and continue so inviting to our home for lunch a young 16 year old girl and her widowed father that live here near Siracusa as refugees from the Ukranian war.  They are living in a convent for nuns.  Please pray for the Lord to touch their hearts.  Her name is Olesia and her dad is Stanislav.

 

  In July,  MMO in partnership with some local churches and 3 other ministries here in Italy, organized a 3 day Conference with Pastor Avi Mizrachi from Dugit Center,Tel Aviv-Israel.  We met each morning for a Bible study and a nightly service.  The Lord spoke to our hearts to continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and a full revelation who Messiah is to His people. One morning at the Bible study, (I was translating for Avi all the time) one of the participants requested water baptism, so, we baptized her right on the spot in the Mediterranean sea that was just a block away from our meeting place.

 

At the end of September-October, I was invited for a 2 week conference in partnership with a large local church in my own home town named Gela, here in Sicily.  We were 3 different speakers invited to share in this conference, Myself presenting MMO, Paul Schafer from the Christ is the Answer Tent ministry that serves here for years in Italy and Eric Miller and his family from the Philippines.  The Miller family are currently serving the Lord in Davao, in the Philippines as Bible School Directors for almost 20 years now. I met Eric and his dear family on my last trip to the Philippines a couple years ago. It was such a great joy and I felt humbled and honored to have had the privilege to share the word of the Lord together with these two brethren and best yet in my own home town! 

 

Please pray for January 27th. , it is the Remembrance Day for " Shoah " (Holocaust).  I will be involved in an event that will be held in the Naples area just 3 hours south of Rome.  Together with some other Ministries and Leaders that I know well, we have invited Mordechai Vaknin from Israel to be one of the speakers for this 3 day seminar.  Mordechai Vaknin has been very involved with One For Israel Ministry and now he works full time for Chosen People Ministries.   We know he will be of great encouragement  for the Italian church, since many of the evangelical churches here in Italy have little knowledge or understanding of the prophetic place and the spiritual position that Israel plays now and in the near future. We feel with other ministries and some Leaders that is the right time to bring Pastors and Leaders from Israel here to Italy, because together in alliance we can help each other to provide the italian church with true testimonies and insight  to what the word of God tells us about the important roll of Israel for the end times. 

 

 We do have some prayer request:

 

  1. We are still pursuing as Mano Nella Mano (Hand & Hand Ministry), which is now a new organisation that we established as MMO and Christ Reign together for a piece of land to build a Missionary Center right here in the City of Siracusa with some help of the authorities in town.

 

  1. Please pray for Italy; the new Goverment has promised to change directions for the Country, their new motto:

 

" God.  Families.  Let's do business right for the italian people and their rights. "

 

  1. Unity in the body of Christ!

 

  1. We will have a new Grand baby arriving in just 4 weeks, mid December! Please pray for our daughter Simona and a safe delivery for the lil one.  It is in our plans to visit the States come next year towards the end of April.  We need your prayers for this trip.

 

We would like to thank each one of you with all of our hearts for your generous gift month after month to MMO. Your wonderful donation has been very helpfull not only to us and for our own expenses, but also to bless others during Covid 19 and even now during the Ukraine crisis. Thank you very, very much and may The Lord bless you greatly!

We know in a few weeks Thanksgiving will be celebrated in the U.S.A., many of you will be around a table with your family and maybe some of your friends too. We want to take the time to wish you a HAPPY  THANKSGIVING with much prayers and many blessings!

Please continue to pray for us for wisdom how we can  best reach this Region and to take every good opportunity to preach the Gospel effectively. Please, let us know how can we pray for you and your families.
