Rome is one of those obvious World Class cities. And La Sapienza is one of those World Class universities, with 138,000 students, the largest in Western Europe. And certainly one of the oldest (started in 1303 by Pope Boniface VIII.) And students from Miami of Ohio just spent a week there. Mark Brown, the director from Miami, told me they saw 2 students come to Christ. (Not the 2 guys posing in the front.)
The Spring Breakers climbed these steps (the Spanish Stairs). They drank good coffee. They did their own version of "The Amazing Race". They drank more good coffee. They prayed, and laughed, shared Christ, and trusted God to do some God-sized stuff in Rome. And then they drank still more good coffee.
There are 12 long term staff who have recently moved there, and a STINT team that's trusting God every day to take them to students who would love and follow Christ and lead movements of Italian students. What if God would bring just 1% of these Italian students into a relationship with Himself in the next 3 years? That's almost 1400 students. Surely at least this can happen. It seems small to ask God for 1% to move from death to life. But 1400 seems like a lot right now. But how will this happen...? Don't you want to be there when it does?

Well i'll be there this summer (assuming i will raise $6000 in less than two months), so maybe we'll see it happen.
