And in preparation for that we wanted to have a few conversations centered around outreach and sharing our faith. And so joining us for this to help us get ready for this is Pastor Rob. Today will be the second in a two part conversation where we first looked at 10 lies that people believe that prevent them from sharing their faith which was last week's episode. This week we will go practical and discuss how to go about sharing your faith and the methods we have used as a church.

About two months ago, we sent a team to Milan, Italy to work alongside our mission partners at Le Refugio church led by Pastor Frank Apisa and his wife Pam as well as missionaries, Justin and Amanda Lehtonen, who moved to Milan several years ago to help build the church and bring the gospel to the people of Italy. This week, we have assembled all 9 members from that trip to share some reflections and lessons learned from our time in Italy. 04:33 Mike Langlois12:19 Danielle Jacobsen22:56 Zelphia Brown41:26 Noah Brown54:06 Kitt Guerrier01:02:20 Micah Metzger01:19:12 Jennifer Hoffman01:28:17 Ethan Hasz01:38:21 Jesse Roskamp
