IMPATTO ITALIA | NEWS
April 2018
"In a country locked in by empty, traditional religion and secular superficiality, hopelessness grows. The gospel of grace is the ‘better story’ needed. Impatto is committed to see healthy churches planted, grow and multiply. We are encouraged by what God is doing. Below some brief news to give you a sense of some of this."
- Training - an intense and comprehensive training program continues to take shape
- Support - the sense of being ‘family’ is really growing and we are growing together. A culture of mentoring is helpfully developing.
- Resources - we are committed to continue providing a spectrum of resources for the churches. Events, ImpattoPrint literature and international partnerships are of great encouragement.
- Donne Impatto - an exciting project is taking shape to provide gospel-centred growth (resources, teaching, support) to the ladies in Impatto and beyond!

Isola del Gran Sasso, Italy
We’ve just completed four great days here in a family retreat for Impatto. We’re in the Italian central area of Abruzzo in front of beautiful mountains and it has been a great time. Families from the Impatto community have come together just to chill out, hang out, and also to enjoy fellowship and to be challenged from God’s Word.
It’s really been an exciting experience just to see families come together: children that are playing together, parents playing with their children but also praying and playing with other children. To be able to open God’s Word, we’ve been looking to Habakkuk, and to be encouraged by the fact that even though sometimes it’s really hard, and in Italy it is really hard. And yet the knowledge that God is working and we can find true strength in Him.
We’re grateful for all the prayers and the support of those who are thinking of us in Italy and we ask you to continue praying for us that we might really see a community, people welded together with a passion for mission in Italy and see churches planted throughout this wonderful country.
