Year-end Report 2025

Dear Saints,

The saints from Italy greet you! Praise the Lord for His continuous advancement in Italy. The Lord as the Vine tree has been springing forth and spreading through many cities in Italy, and He has been faithful in caring by His all-inclusive shepherding in sustaining and strengthening the saints and the churches.

VICENZA

The church in Vicenza has been going on in the enjoyment, experience and living out of the Lord’s testimony in the church life. The saints have been gathering continually for the Lord’s table meeting and about 20 saints (including zoom) meet together regularly to break bread and join the prophesy meeting. Every morning about 10 saints (including zoom) meet together to enjoy the corporate morning revival. As for the weekly meetings, about 10 saints (including zoom) meet together for the prayer meeting and pursue the life-study for the ministry reading. There is also the weekly home meetings and small group meetings to shepherd the contacts and new ones, as well as, the children’s and young people’s meeting joined by 7 children and young people. The church also goes out every Lord’s day to preach the gospel by distributing tracts and singing in the city center. From time to time, saints from other localities come and blend with the church, and this has been a sweet and rich supply from the Body. The church also have finished attending the semi-annual video training and have viewed the thanksgiving conference, and recently some of our young people have joined the Winter School of Truth in the Netherlands.

PADOVA

The Lord has been blessing the campus work at the University of Padova as He is giving us more student contacts. Praise the Lord that recently the Lord has provided an apartment with adequate space for the student meetings. We have been meeting with the students in large and small groups weekly. In some of these meetings we have read portions of the Bible, sang hymns with them and also shared the gospel. Some of the students have prayed to receive the Lord and some of them are open to fellowship about the Bible and about the church. We are also expecting a few students from other churches in the upcoming semesters. We also had visiting saints come to blend with us and the fellowship was supplying and encouraging. May the Lord continue to gain the hearts of these precious vessels for His interest in Italy.

OTHER CITIES

The church also goes out regularly for propagation work in other cities, including Mantova, Ferrara, Bologna, Rimini, Trieste, Rovereto and Dolomiti. In these cities we visit the saints and also shepherd the contacts of the saints to care for them, usher them into the ministry and into the vision of the body of Christ. Through these constant visitations, the saints are strengthened and encouraged, and the contacts are supplied and shepherded. May the Lord gain His increase in all these cities for the raising up of His testimony in these places.

Praise the Lord for the wheel of His economy in Italy! May His sevenfold intensified Spirit be outpoured throughout all the cities in Italy that He may gain the full ground in this country as a preparation of His bride for His coming back. Thank you saints for your continued prayer and support.

In Christ,
