GENERATION WITHOUT BORDERS March 13th - 14th, 2010 - Dear supporters, what a wonderful report I have for you on the youth event in Naples. After several years I was able to go back and see this group of churches led by the youth leaders called “Generation with Borders”. Some of these leaders are between the ages of 25 to 33. They were little kids when I started doing crusades in the Naples area. It was wonderful to see how much they remember the ministry of Italy for Christ and how much they respected the preaching of the Gospel given there. There are now more than 40 churches united in this group and they were not only able to get a movie theater that was filled to the brim with more than 2000 people, they also got the services of the TV cameras and they invited a lot of unsaved people in a section of town in much need of the gospel. |

June 4-6, 2010 Naples was incredible! Your prayers were felt the whole time. Many gang members wept all during the preaching of the gospel. Entire families came to Jesus. The crusade was held in a big piazza called Piazza Grandi (great) Eventi (events). I preached on John 5 the paralytic of Bethesda. He replied to Jesus’ question: do you want to be healed? With his frustration of not having Health, Support (no one helps me in order to go into the healing pool) and Hope (even if someone helps me another sick person gets in before me)! This was his thoughts.

Equip TTT4 Conference Outreach Serbia |
|
MARCH 5-6, 2010 - Dear Brothers and Sister our trip to Serbia was glorified in every way. What a wonderful outreach this turned out to be. Gaetano, Pastor David Sawkins from San Jose, CA, Pastor Giovanni DiFrancia from Rome and Nesa Savic the Serbia coordinator started out on a hike to the conference center because the van broke down. Gaetano took a quick video of them trekking through the snow, carrying their luggage, the materials for the conference and there they were, snow all around, hoping that the storm had not deterred anyone from coming. Well the Lord took great care of this event and the outcome was glorious. We pray that you will enjoy these comments below and see the Gaetano that you love and support. Thank you so much.
