On October 5th and 6th I will be in Turin, Italy on a one day outreach with some OM friends and two others from a Church in London. Our reason for being in Turin is simple, we want to hand out 1000 pieces of evangelistic literature and wait for divine appointments to share the Gospel with whomever will stop and share some time with us. We will be joined by some Italian friends who will help with the translation. Apparently Turin is the Occultic capital of Europe. Here are some stats,
-98% of Italians claim Roman Catholicism as their faith/religion (though far fewer attend mass), but perhaps the true religion of Italy is the Occult.
-Italy is steeped in the Occult and Satanism. There are over 100,000 full-time consulting magicians (Occult) in Italy. That is three times the number of Catholic priests and 600 times the number of trained pastors in this nation.
-Evangelicals make up less than 1% of the population; there is only one trained pastor for every 350,000 people. The Italian church is weak and divided.
Please pray with us for fruit and spiritual protection and for those that will join us to be empassioned to continue sharing the message of Jesus wherever they are. Recently, I just heard of the Faroe Islands (between Norway and Iceland) where there is only 48,000 people and over 20% of the population is Christian. A bit of a haven compared to Turin. Thank you for standing with us. There will be five of us going for it. I will be sharing the results later on, so be sure to revisit soon. Keep on keeping on!
