Ready or not, East Coast, here we come!

“Help!!!”

I don’t know about you, but I get slightly nervous whenever I hear those words… “Oh boy, what am I getting myself into now?”

How about, if instead, I said: “Help me help you!” That has a better ring to it.
You see, in less than a month we sail across the ocean blue toward the great US of A (How many clichés can I use in one sentence?).

Can you believe it? We have not visited our friends, family and supporters of the east states of America since 2017! Time flies when you are serving the Lord!!

We look forward to being with you in person to share with you God’s many blessings as well as some of the challenges of serving in a post-Covid Italy.
