Sunday was a free day at the Vatican so we all went to see the Sistine Chapel where Michaelangelo basically drew the story of the Bible from beginning to end. Crazy stuff. Then we saw the Pope address 60,000ish people in 5 languages at St. Peter's. I'm realizing there's a lot of history in this place and it's overwhelming to take it all in. But while many come here from all over the world to take pilgrimages and see where it all began, following Christ as a Roman seems to be a distant reality for most. The Bible?...Is it true? Can you really know God? Does God even exist? These questions flood the classrooms of the universities of today. I hope thru Agape Italia (the name of our movements here), God will reveal who He really is on these campuses.
Today we met with students from the psychology and archeology faculties of La Sapienza, many of whom we hope to see again tomorrow night at a BBQ we are hosting! As we talk with students, it is interesting to hear where they are coming from spiritually and it's refreshing to be able to share my life with them. Please continue to pray that we would speak boldly and clearly regarding our Lord, that He would open their eyes, that students would see His love for them. Grazie!
Ciao-mike
