Reaching the city



Rome is a new location for this team. Now at the ground-breaking stage, they have a strategic vision for reaching the city through:



    

  • ESL opportunities 
    • 

  • Refugee ministry in cooperation with the Refugee Highway (ITEAMS) 
    • 

  • University outreach in cooperation with Agape Int’l (CCC) 
    • 

  • Outreach to victims of human trafficking 
    • 

  • Small group Bible studies leading to house church communities 
    • 

  • Supervising internships of local Bible institute workers 
    • 




The Rome City Team desires to reach neighborhoods for Christ by starting Gospel-centered communities. The impact of the Gospel is multiplied in our neighborhoods as we equip local believers to work together to reach out to their city and to the rest of the world. We will serve people holistically with the Good News by working with like-minded believers to launch inner-city, immigrant, university and other urban ministries. We envision a network of simple, organic and reproducing household-based churches which embody Kingdom principles.
