Benvenuti in Italia! Italy is a land rich in culture and history. This nation's influence on the Western world can still be seen throughout the world today. Italy has given us some of the most gifted artists, alluring foods, and breathtaking landscapes. Unfortunately, this gifted country that fascinates so many around the world is spiritually dark.

Years of misrepresentation of the Christian faith on Italian soil and throughout Europe has led to skepticism and unbelief in a faith Italians claim to be their own by birth. In fact, most people have never heard a clear presentation of the Gospel - let alone seen it lived out in their midst. Although church attendance in Roman Catholic churches continues to dwindle, the Catholic traditions and mindset continue to penetrate deep into every aspect of Italian culture.
