God works in amazing ways.




The last few weeks we've had a group called Summer Project with us here in Salerno. It's been great to have fresh energy and more laborers working on campus. But it's the last week that I want to talk about now. My team had our debrief to start wrapping up the year last weekend. While we were there, we received a text informing us that 2 people had accepted Christ! One of them was actually my friend, Ilaria! Fast forward to even more conversations and end up at our barbeque last night. I was able to do ministry alongside my boyfriend, Richie, at the barbeque. We talked with a group of guys he had met at the university and then his friend Vincenzo arrived. Earlier in the day, I had met Vincenzo with some other girls that we had actually met previously in the year. We encouraged them to come to the barbeque and Richie expressed his desire to talk about the Gospel again with Vincenzo. So when he arrived at the barbeque, the two of them sped off on Vincenzo's motorino (vespa) and when they returned, Vincenzo had made a decision for CHRIST!

It's been such a blessing to do ministry with people that I will be working with at UCF next year - seeing their passion for the Lord and their desire to learn how to clearly present the Gospel. Praise God for what He's doing!
