Our Ministries
Focus Conferences
Every year hundreds of Italian leaders and their wives are trained and encouraged through the Focus conferences organized by the Aurora Mission team.
Church Planting
Establishment and development of churches is the goal of missionary effort, not the mere winning of individuals to Christ. Aurora Mission believes that establishing churches includes developing national leadership so that the missionary “can replace himself.” Aurora Mission works with the missionary and the church in this process. Pray for us as we seek to plant new churches and continue to train the church leaders through conferences and publishing materials in Italian.
Publishing
From the beginning, Aurora Mission has felt that there is a great need for Italian church leaders to have more sermon preparation materials in their own language. Such books are very scarce in Italy.
