As a church, we provide support for Marco and Sherrie deFelice, who have been laboring in planting and establishing churches in Italy since 1986.  They are currently ministering in the province of Rovigo, in the second church they have planted, and Marco is preparing men to become elders. Sherrie has an active ministry with the women. In addition to their ministry in the local church, they have a web site containing Marco's sermons which is used by many believers throughout Italy. As this church gets established, Marco and Sherrie are gradually shifting their ministry focus to that of providing leadership training and mentoring to young Italian church leaders, and Marco plans to dedicate more time to writing teaching materials for use throughout Italy.

It's always a day of great joy when the church gathers for the baptism of a new believer in the Lord.
