Expose Us!

As you can tell, we've been doing some work on The Phipps Five!  As the internet continues to grow as the world's most significant method of communication, we wanted to create a place where current ministry partners could keep read weekly of how God is moving in our midst, where we could post up-to-date prayer requests (check out the Ways to Pray page), and where people we have just met--or haven't even met at all--could check out our ministry.

We will continue to post weekly about what life looks like for us, from family-life to ministry opportunities to our cultural learning experiences.  It is our greatest desire that those who partner with us feel like they have a vivid picture of what they are investing in.  We can't say enough how strongly we feel about our ministry being so much bigger than us on the ground in Italy.  Our ministry consists of every person who gives financially to allow us to cover our living and ministry expenses and every person who goes before the Father to ask for His Spirit to move on our behalf.  No part is greater or less important than the others.

We also want this to be a place where you can point people who might be encouraged to read about what God is up to in the country of Italy.  Expose us!  Tell everyone you know how to find our site (we do!).  The next time you're on Facebook, would you post a link the blog?  We would be so grateful.  We hope anybody who stumbles upon this site is blessed by the stories of God's faithfulness to our family, as we take His gospel to a people who once led the charge for Christ and yet now are so far away from understanding the simplicity of His grace.

We are overwhelmed by the privilege it is to be Italy right now.  Truly, we feel the Spirit of God is beginning to move in this country in a way He hasn't in generations.  We want as many people as possible to hear about what God is doing and join with us!

A few other new pages to point out (the links are found just the right of the most current post).  The Italian Reality paints of picture of the current spiritual reality of Italy.  It answers the question of "Why do we go to Italy?"  It's a great place for folks new to our ministry to read about the spiritual climate we're facing.  La Dolce Vita provides some fascinating snip-its about Italy-- its history and its present.  And finally, HowYou Can Be a Part of What's Happening provides information about how you can give financially to our ministry.  Oh, and we've also made it easier to leave comments. . . give it a try!

Enjoy!  Thanks for stopping by.  Thanks for telling others about us.  Thanks for caring about Italians understanding how they can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
