Somehow Silas did not have a toy truck until today. Funny how little boys like them so much.
Some recent pics of Silas I had in my phone…opening Christmas presents, in the bath & at the Burger King (a new addition here)!
So here’s a sign that some local high school students hung outside their school a few weeks back. It says:
“The walls have ears and your ears have walls.”
Check out this video produced by a Campus Crusade staff member in Eastern Europe…
In this year (2009) the world looks back 20 years to a cascade of international events that could only have been orchestrated by God’ sovereign hand. The fall of the Berlin Wall was only one, very symbolic moment of many similar occurrences in nations we used to say were “behind the iron curtain.” But what happened could not merely be the coincidence of geopolitical factors running their course. Millions around the world had been praying for this moment.
Campus Crusade for Christ International had not only been praying, but had been behind this human division working to lay the foundation for God to enter many hearts.
Join us for a few minutes to reflect back on what God was doing before, during and since the walls came down. Hear the stories of those whose lives have been changed forever and imagine what “walls” God could be bringing down now.

This is a video that Campus Crusade for Christ International put together to help recruit Operations workers into missions. They came through Florence and I got to play a small part in it. Check it out (I’m at 2:00 in the video)!
A few of the recent project that our team has been working on here in Italy:
BRANDING
For a while our ministry has been been wanting to replace the logo for Agape Italia (the logo of the left). Our team has been working through different options and finally settled on one that our team leader Henry designed (the logo on the right). We are very excited to be moving to a much more updated brand and will be incorporating it into all of our future print and web work. Click on either logo to view the full size.
WEB PRESENCE - NUOVA GENERAZIONE
Another project that our team has been working on is helping with the funding, design, marketing and implementation of this year’s intern program, Nuova Generazione, or “New Generation”. Here is a link to the website that we’ve been using to promote it:
ONLINE REIMBURSEMENTS
I know that it doesn’t sound all that exciting, but this will greatly my team’s ability to serve our staff and get funds into their hands to fund ministry projects on the ground. Before we set up the online system for ministry reimbursements, it was taking 2 to 3 weeks to get funds into the hands of teams on the ground. Now, that time could easily be cut down to one week!
