Hey Everyone,

We are having a great time in Italy! After having gone for three years in 2002, 2003, and 2004, I am excited to see that we are picking up right where we left off. We have been mingling with many of the Italians in Montefiascone- both in the church and in the community at large. It has been such a blessing to be a part of the church for the last few days. It is incredible to see the things that the Italian church cares about, and it puts things into perspective when considering the unimportant issues that become a problem in American churches. The people of the Italian church are so passionate for Jesus Christ, and it has been a blessing to be a part of that.

English camps begin tomorrow. As I mentioned, we have been mingling with the Montefiascone youth and have been advertising the English camp. That will be our main starting point for relationships and conversations about faith. I am excited to see how God works this week. We have already met a lot of kids and seen a lot of people from past English camps that are excited about our trip. We look forward to reporting more once camps begin!

God bless,
Ryan June
