During the week of March 27th through April 3rd, a missions team from Milwaukee, Wisconsin was here helping with various things at ICF. It was great to meet Pastor Tommy & his team, and get to know them a bit during the week!
On several days, Danielle and I went out with some of the team members and Patti to pray at the gates of the city. Padova used to be a walled city, and 9 of the original gates are still standing. It was awesome to pray for the various areas of the city, the people of Padova, the many university students here, and the country of Italy.
You can see a king here inside one of the gates. We were praying that the true King of Glory would come in!

Another major task we all worked on was to repaint the church's upstairs ceiling and all the walls and ceiling downstairs. Just this past week, Danielle, Steve, and I finally finished it! We had run out of paint, and time, when the team was here. Praise the Lord, the painting is done! Looks great!
Team Milwaukee also helped us prepare materials for our after-school program and summer VBS coming up...drawing, coloring, painting, making flannels for our flannel board. We are so grateful for their help!
Here are some of the faces of Milwaukee...
Lynn & I in Venice
Pastor Tommy Orlando with his family
Here's a nice picture of their whole group, enjoying a meal at the beautiful villa where they stayed.
And here is Jonathan, with his wife Jessica...he was the only one not pictured in the group pic because he was taking it!
Great to meet you, Team Milwaukee members!
