Prayer & Envisioning Meeting

Tomorrow evening we'll have
our mid-week prayer &
envisioning meeting.
Our desire is to build up our church to have a passion for our community with a global vision for the work of the Lord!

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 

Romans 8:26-27

Outreach with under-age asylum seekers: Basketball Clinic

Outreach with under-age asylum seekers: Basketball Clinic

Tomorrow we'll continue
our outreach programme for migrants at the HUB for under-age asylum seekers in Budrio,
in partnership with YfC Italy.

In a village next to Budrio,
last year was opened the second biggest centre of the Bologna area, to host under-age migrants landed in Italy. At the moment they host about 30 kids, mostly Muslim, from various African and Asian countries.

We offer a series of Basketball Clinics with Coach Chris Bilyeu,
a former Principal, Teacher and Coach of Basketball, Baseball
and American Football from Oklahoma, now part of
the Bologna staff of YfC Italy.
We are very excited for this opportunity for our church to reach out these kids and for the new partnership with the manager of the Mezzolara Sport Centre.
Join us in praying for Chris and us that we'll be able to share
Jesus' Love to these kids, the HUB staff and the Sport Centre staff,
in words and actions.
