Italy has deep Catholic roots but most Italians today engage with pagan practices rather than Christianity. Only 0.1% of Italians have converted to Christianity. World Team's ministry began in Italy in 1972 in Sicily and now focuses on the city of Milan in northern Italy. Their vision is to establish 15 new reproducing churches in Milan and throughout Italy by 2027 in order to reach Italians with the gospel. They are seeking team members to help with evangelism, training Italian church leaders, networking with other ministries, and recruiting additional workers.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Italy Profile Sheet
1. ITALY
Reclaiming True Religion
As the heart of the Roman Catholic Church and witness of the
birth of Christendom, Italy has deep religious roots. Despite this
heritage, the vast majority of Italians today are more likely to
engage in pagan practices linked to the New Age movement,
cults or the occult rather than read a Bible. They identify with
Catholicism culturally, but not at the heart of daily life. Truly an
unreached nation, only about 0.1% of Italians have found new
life in Jesus Christ. The need for new Bible-based churches is
staggering. Will you consider being a part of a movement of
God to share the hope of Christ in a country where the Protes-
tant Reformation never occurred?

of Milan.
Economy:
While the Mafia and black market still
largely affect the economy in southern Italy,
unemployment is unacceptably high in the
south causing southerners to emigrate
north or abroad to find work and sometimes
sustain loved ones back home. Italy boasts
the 7th largest economy in the world.
Culture:
Known worldwide for its food, arts, sports cars, people, fashion,
culture, traditions and breath-taking landscapes, Italy entices
personal experiences beyond compare. Italy takes great pride in its
influence on other cultures while maintaining high traditions of close
family ties that often create difficult barriers for others to cut across.
On the surface, Italians are very out-going and fun people, but just
underneath lurks a sense of fear woven into the very fabric of life
and culture. The absence of hope looms large in this highly
fashioned society where the irrelevance of the Catholic Church, an
ineffective and factionalized government, and an attachment to
tradition give rise to lack of trust in people and
institutions.

2. Italy Today
Italians esteem beauty in nature, the arts and people.
Ironically, with such a rich appreciation for their
environment, the Italians live in spiritual darkness.
Most know little to nothing of the Scriptures. The
majority of Italians culturally observe the main Roman
Catholic rites while freely living and believing their own
version of spirituality. Some worship materialism,
Buddhism, New Age, meditation, fortunetellers, or
just their own idea of spirituality.
Indeed, there are three times the number of practicing
magicians or spiritists than Catholic priests in Italy, revealing a significant hunger for something spiritual other than
the “irrelevant” Catholic Church. While much of the traditional spiritual and political life in Italy flows out of the
capital, Rome, the real hotbed of national influence is found in the economic, banking, fashion and industrial-rich
urban sprawl of Milan. Milan leads Italy in virtually every aspect of modern life except the evangelical witness.
World Team In Italy
World Team’s ministry in Italy began in 1972 at the request of an influential Italo-American with a burden to reach
the lost in his home country. Making frequent visits to Sicily himself, he identified the need for a missionary witness
and World Team responded. The last of the World Team missionaries left Sicily in 1995 leaving two church plants
and having assisted other churches on the island.
Because of it’s socio-economic influence and great spiritual need, World Team’s focus shifted to northern Italy and
the city of Milan. A team composed of several families is building relationships and laying foundations for a commu-
nity of believing Italians to grow and worship together. The vision is big, to see 15 new reproducing churches
established in 20 years (by 2027), starting in Milan and radiating throughout Italy and beyond.
Seeing this vision become a reality will take bold faith and a team of creative, innovative, servants willing to live out
the Gospel in an environment of trust. Our desire is to see a movement of culturally relevant churches that provide
a positive experience of the love and authority of Christ and the Scriptures.
World Team Italy is actively seeking new team members to join them in the
following ministry areas:
Evangelism: primarily focusing on 15-35 year olds and young families
♦
Training: practical, hands-on training in the context of Christian
♦
communities to develop Italian leaders to lead and multiply churches
Networking: bringing together other evangelical churches and
♦
ministries for the purpose of leadership training and development to
foster church multiplication
Recruiting: actively recruiting additional workers for the work in Milan
♦
both Italian and non-Italian qualified personnel.
