This episode of Missions Incorporated was recorded live for a Saturday special on the topic of the side benefits of evangelism.

In this episode, 286 of Missions Incorporated, we share a field report from Italy. Missionaries in the book of Acts would at times return to their sending churches to report on what God has been doing. We do likewise by writing newsletters and by sharing them on our podcast and video channels so that individuals, families, and churches can tune in and hear the latest. To God alone the glory. Links Mentioned in the Episode:PMc Short-term Cohorts for 2023 Support PMcJoin The Italian Cohort online community group on DiscordPMc NewslettersMore Links:Q&AAsk a Question - and be featured on the podcastVision Trip InfoPMc AcademiaServePMc InstagramPMc FacebookLike Jesus driven to His cross, so we drive ourselves to the singular task of the edification (planting) of Biblical churches in Italy.If you like the podcast, please leave us a 5-star review so others can learn about the podcast and the ministry to the Italian people through Practical Missions Cohort.
