Our church’s global mission strategy is focused on our partnership with church planters in Rome, Italy.

While there is, of course, access to the Gospel in Rome, Italians are less than 2% Evangelical. And while 90% of Italians would identify themselves as Roman Catholic only around 10% are actually practicing Catholics.

This means that Italy has become a last frontier.

This chart reflects Italy’s status of global evangelization as a “1″

I think it would be safe to say that most people have never thought of Italians as a last frontier unreached people group, yet they are.

Who will join us in praying for Italians?

Who will partner with us as we seek to engage in church planting in the heart of Rome?

If your church would like to adopt, begin praying for, and exploring strategic global partnerships see the International Mission Board’s web site
