It seems that January flew by very fast and we are back in Sicily preparing for a year full of opportunities.
This month, we held our first board meeting of Act Now Ministries. It was a joy to see what has happened since the inception of the mission. God is faithful and has blessed us with great partners. We give Him the glory. During our time together at the meeting, we came across this sign on a building. We hope you enjoy it.

Also this year, we anticipate the coming of two or three groups from the United States to help with the work in Sicily. Giuseppe was able to interview some volunteers that want to come for an extended period of service and experience missionary life in a practical way.

And to think that Giuseppe asked for only 10,000 bibles in Thank you, friends! We count a privilege to serve with you an ever Awesome God. The invite still remains: come and visit.

As always, let’s go fishing ( really ) for one more. God bless you. Your servants with Act Now Ministries, Giuseppe and
