Thanks for your prayers... we had a great time in Italy getting a glimpse of the potential ministry possibilities there and being in Italy again. We flew into Milan on Friday 5/16 and spent the first few days with Crossworld's church-planting teams in Milan and Sesto Calende (just outside of Milan). We were able to attend an Evangelical church in Milan at one of the more established churches there and they had a record attendance that Sunday of about 150 people. Following the service and lunch at the church we headed to Abruzzo (about 3 hours from Rome on the Adriatic Sea) with Robby Roberts to stay with a precious Italian family and meet some new Italian friends and see the area and church where the Roberts will move this summer. We even went bowling with a group of Italian highschoolers which was a neat experience. On Tuesday, we headed to Rome to spend the last few days touring Rome in the pouring rain (it rained everyday we were in Italy-ugh!) and catching up with friends that Lucas had met during his two years with Campus Crusade in Rome. We stayed with Tommaso and Sara (some of you may have met Tommaso when he visited us in Arkansas summer of 2005). The trip was a whirlwind of activity, meeting new people, and lots of details to process through but a very good time to meet people, see some ministry opportunities firsthand, and to think through what the Lord may have in store for us in Italy after Lucas finishes at Dallas Seminary in May 2010. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we seek the Lord for direction and make future plans. To see a few pics see the photo section.
Love to you all,
Carrie & Lucas
