●Lucio Stanisci has made a very moving video, recording his testimony, with the help of Dr. John MacArthur, stressing the need for men in Italy to be equipped to teach the Bible in truth. Go and listen to his powerful story of salvation and spiritual growth! This is what ITA is all about.
● We are so excited about the Focus conference held a few months ago in Chianciano, Italy October 10-12, 2007. Five Hundred pastors and their wives were in attendance! During the conference, the MacArthur Study Bible (in Italian) was presented to Dr. John MacArthur as well as to the Italian church leaders. This year, some guests from the U.S. attended to participate in the Focus Tour that was organized in correlation with this special event. The conference was a huge success and many of the Italian church leaders bought extra copies of the Italian MacArthur Study Bible to take back to their churches, family, and friends. We know that this Bible will be a tremendous tool to help the Italian people better understand the Word of God. Thank you for your prayers! (A video & slide show from Focus 2007 is now available on-line and a slide show from the Focus on Italy Tour is up too. All Focus Sessions are now available to listen to or download!)
