Italy

Thousands of tourists flock to Italy every year - drawn to 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 having a coffee in a cafe in Rome. Just up the street you can see the Coliseum where so many Christians died because they refused to renounce their faith in Jesus.

...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!

Italy today

The majority of Italians are Roman Catholic yet most do not know and understand the Gospel and few have read the Bible for themselves. Occult is widespread and the northern city of Turin (Torino) is a world-renowned centre for Satanism, boasting a 'church' dedicated to Satan worship.

High immigration (especially from North Africa) as well as problems with drug addiction and prostitution are some of the other challenges facing this European nation.

OM Italy

The first OM teams arrived in Italy in the early 1960s. During more than four decades of ministry, countless teams have shared the love of God and distributed thousands of pieces of Gospel literature across this nation.

Today, OM Italy is based in Torre Pellice nestled at the foot of the Italian Alps in Northern Italy. Led by Eliseo Guadagno, the small team organises short term outreach across the country, takes a large group of teenagers to TeenStreet in Germany each year and is involved in sending Italians to serve in other parts of the world with OM.

The team is also involved in a major project in Bobbio Pellice where a ruined army base is being transformed into a training and conference centre to serve the Italian church.

Italia

Migliaia di turisti giungono in Italia ogni anno, attratti da un luogo unico, dove il mondo moderno si mescola con quello antico. 

I turisti oltre a godersi la storia, l’architettura, la cultura e l’arte, vengono in Italia anche per la sua cucina e per la possibilitá di fare shopping in negozi di moda esclusivi.

Per i Cristiani, l’Italia ha anche attrattive in piú.

...Immáginati seduto a gustarti un caffé a Roma. A poca distanza si erge maestoso il Colosseo, dove tanti Cristiani sono morti perché non hanno rinunciato alla loro fede in Gesú.

...se giri lo sguardo dall’altra parte della strada, puoi vedere il Mamertino, la prigione dove l’Apostolo Paolo era trattenuto in catene, dopo essersi appellato a Cesare!

L’Italia oggi

La maggioranza degli italiani sono cattolici e tuttavia molti non conoscono e non comprendono il Vangelo e in pochi hanno letto la Bibbia. L’occultismo é ampiamente diffuso e Torino é un  centro rinomato per il Satanismo, e vanta una “chiesa” dedicata al culto di Satana.

Un elevato tasso di immigrazione (in particolar modo dal Nord Africa) congiuntamente ai problemi legati alla droga e alla prostituzione, sono alcune delle sfide che deve affrontare questo paese europeo.

OM Italia 

Le prime squadre di OM sono arrivate in Italia all’inizio degli anni ‘60. Durante piú di 4 decenni di ministerio, innumerevoli gruppi di evangelizzazione hanno condiviso l’amore di Dio e distribuito migliaia di porzioni del Vangelo in tutto il paese.

Oggi OM Italia é basata a Torre Pellice, ai piedi delle Alpi occidentali. Il team, guidato da Eliseo Guadagno, organizza campagne evangelistiche in diverse parti del paese, coinvolge diversi adolescenti a Teenstreet in Germania ed é impegnata nel mandare italiani a servire in altre parti del mondo con OM. 

Il team é anche attivamente impegnato nella gestione di Forterocca, un ex-caserma militare trasformata in un centro congressi e conferenze al servizio della chiesa Italiana.
