General Fund – VAN NEEDED!

The van at the Academy has done its last trip! It now sits on the Academy’s field …on three wheels! The team is now forced to look into finding a ‘good used’ deal. Will you consider helping us and donating, whatever you are able to, to our van fund?

Student Scholarships

Incredible need! More and more students want to come, but the financial situation in Italy is very critical … so while they may have time to attend, because they are unemployed, they do not have the means to. Our scholarship fund pays for their meals, sheets, materials, and covers the costs us to have a student at the Academy for a week. Please consider helping your Italian brothers and sisters!

Project/Construction for ITA

Praise! The work has started at the Academy for the expansion of the kitchen and hall. This will allow to have more students and training classes! Keep praying!

Publishing

Is there such a thing as a double praise? Well, we think so! Thanks to the Lord’s goodness and some dear friends practical love, we have the publishing of the Mac Arthur New Testament Commentary “Colossians and Philemon” fully funded! We are so grateful to all of you who responded!

Focus Conference Scholarship

The 2011 Focus Conference is now open for registration to the Italian community, and we are receiving many requests for scholarships. A scholarship for the conference cover the expense, fully or partially depending on the requester need, to pay for lodging and meals for the fellow believers that are experiencing hardships, but are faithful attendees of the Focus Conferences. Since our funding is also limited and depends on partnerships, will you consider donating to the Focus Conference Scholarship fund?
