From our August 2009 Newsletter


Bi-Monthly Report - June & July
I want to start by apologizing to some who may not have seen our June newsletter. With all the rush of getting prepared for our trip to Georgia, we prepared the newsletter but were unable to mail it out.

Our trip to Georgia was a real blessing! We weren’t able to meet with as many families as we had hoped, due to time and scheduling constraints, but it was still a good opportunity to spend time with family and plant the seed of Italy’s spiritual need at Northside Baptist Church. We got the opportunity to share our ministry with the whole church on Sunday morning and again with the kids on Wednesday night.

While in Georgia, we also found out that Abbie is pregnant! She is due the third week of February, which was also Alberto’s due date. Needless to say, we have no plans to go to Italy until after the baby is born. Please pray for Abbie’s health. So far, she was been very sick every day, and nothing seems to help. Hopefully her doctor can offer some assistance with that.



Progress Report
We all know that Italy is an expensive place to live, but we also know that Italians need Christ. When we fill this plane, we’ll be ready to go, so get your tickets ready; we’re going to Italy!









Reaching Out to Local Italians

Get ready for some exciting news over the next couple months, because our first outreach event for local Italians is scheduled for September. We’re going to host a pizza cook-off for Italian families living in SW Austin. We’ll be finishing up some of the event details over the next week or two, but we can’t wait to start building relationships with Italians right here in our own backyard!
