Tomorrow evening our
church family, will join Budrio community for the Open Air Movies Festival B'Est @ Budrio Square.
This month we'll watch the
2017 movie Wonder with
Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson
and Jacob Tremblay. 

WONDER tells the incredibly inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman. 
Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade. As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to discover their compassion and acceptance, Auggie's extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.

Exch@nge Camp 2018 Video & Report


Yesterday we had a great day out in Florence with our friends from Bethel Church
in Houston, who have helped @ our
5th Exch@nge Camp for teens in Budrio!

We feel so blessed by this great Gospel partnership that joined our churches
in these 5 years of reaching out teens
and families in Budrio!

At the end of these challenging 10 days of ministry we are amazed be the many ways The Lord has answered our prayers!


We had 45 local kids from
11 to 17 years old and only
2 of them were coming from
Christian families!

Join us in praying that The Lord will apply to their hearts what they've heard in these days through the Talks from Ephesians, and the many conversations during the camp!
At the community dinner of Saturday evening we hosted more than 100 people and we had good Gospel Conversations with a few parents and the Cafè staff!








On Sunday more than 130 people attended the service and quite a few asked questions after Stefano's sermon!

We were very encouraged by 4 Christians from our church who took holidays in order to serve with us at the camp and the many great helpers we had from other churches!

Pray with us the Lord of the Harvest for the many seeds planted this week!

Have a taste of this incredible week by watching the Camp Video!


You can also watch a video interview with Rod Bohls, the team leader from Houston!

Exch@nge Camp - DAY7 - Sunday Service

This morning we had our Sunday Service 
for the campers' families of the  
2018 English Sport Camp Exch@nge Budrio.

We had the biggest turnout of kids and parents in the last 5 years, indeed there where more than 130 people, and it was great to see some of the older campers from previous years!

 
Stefano preached from Ephesians 2:1-8, challenging parents & kids to think about 
the depths of our sin and so the amazing salvation that Jesus accomplished for us 
at the Cross!
How great is to know that Jesus' salvation is 
by grace alone!
 
We had the visit of the mayor of Budrio 
who thanked us for our work & presence 
in the community. 

We also had a great time engaging with families and kids. Many of them very happy to receive a New Testament and to be informed about our Christianity Explored Course and kids programmes during the year!
