Join us as Pastor Chris teaches at the Rome Scholars and Leaders Network conference, speaks at the men’s conference in Poggio Ubertini, preaches at Nuova Vita Church, and visits pastors and church leaders in various cities such as Bologna, Florence, and Rome.

It is one of the oldest Protestant churches in Italy
