OM Italy - A Ministry with Vision!

Italy | OM International

Forterocca Ministry & Training CenterThousands of tourists flock to Italy every year – drawn by the desire to experience the “old country”.  Italy is a place where the modern and ancient worlds collide. Enjoying the history, architecture, culture and art, visitors are also hungry for a taste of Italy’s world-famous cuisine and a chance to shop for exclusive fashion designs.

For Christians, Italy holds added attractions.

…Imagine sitting at a café in Rome sipping coffee.  Just up the street you can see the Coliseum where so many Christians died because they refused to renounce their faith in Jesus. Then look across the road and you can see the site where the Apostle Paul was held in chains while he waited to appeal to Caesar

… suddenly the Bible comes alive!

With so much Christian heritage coursing through its veins, what place does Jesus have in the hearts of 21st Century Italians?

OM Italy is preparing to help bring God’s great message of hope to the people of Italy and the world.

In summer 2000 OM took its first step in making the dream a reality by buying an old army barracks in northwest Italy in the Pellice Valley at the foot of the Alps.  Our desire is that the valley will once again become a strategic launching point for Italian missionaries and a place where the Italian church can catch the vision.
