Acts 8:8

On the corner of a busy New Jersey street, with a back-yard view of the Empire State Building, is New Durham Baptist Church. I was reminded of Italy as we parked bumper-to-bumper about a block away from the church. Houses were piled one on top of another, traffic noisily buzzed by and Natalia's sandals quietly skuffed the sidewalk so strangely close to metropolitan NYC.

This morning kicked off another great missions conference, with an emphasis on Jewish Evangelism. The main preacher is a converted Jew who is using his heritage to reach other Jews with the truth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.



We especially enjoyed meeting Pastor Cuozzo, who if you cannot tell, is Italian. He has the Jersey accent pleasantly mixed with an Italian one! Being so close to the city, the church is largely diverse including Phillippinos, Hispanics, and Chinese.

On Tuesday evening Michael will have the opportunity to share our burden for Italy with NDBC. Please pray that this may spark an interest and passion in the hearts of these New Jersey friends for reaching Italy with the Gospel!
