This has been a year to remember! God has continued to lead us in our work among refugees here in Catania while at the same time expanding our family’s vision for the future. He has opened many new doors for the Gospel through people that have come to Europe as refugees.

To break the news now, as a next step for our family, we believe that God is calling us to move to northern Italy to allow him to use us to be part of expanding his kingdom amongst additional unreached peoples, through the refugees with whom we have been working, both in Europe as well as in other regions of the world that have not heard the truth about Christ.

We created a video to give you an update on our family and our work in this year, including a special invitation to meet with us this coming Saturday morning, December 13th, to learn more about what God has been doing through us, along with our next steps and plans for 2026. The image below will link you to the video:
