David Cloud took more than one trip to Italy and described many of the interesting things that he saw in an article entitled "In The Footsteps Of Bible Translators". It's very interesting and informative, as he describes churches, their idolatry and other information. If you're interested, follow this link to read about it.

The Gospel in Italy, yesterday and today

For a short history of missionary work accomplished in Italy, click here: Short history of Baptist missionary work in Italy

I often get asked how many churches/missionaries are present in Italy. To help in your understanding of the Gospel activity in Italy, I have decided to make a "general" breakdown of the missionary activity in Italy, according to some mission boards. Of course the list is incomplete, and will always be so, as I do not know everyone or of all the mission boards. This is just to give a "general" idea of the Gospel influence in Italy. As I become aware of others, I will update the information. Mission boards represented in Italy and number of missionary families or singles are:

- Association of Baptists for World Evangelism - 3 http://www.abwe.org/serve/fields/italy.asp

- Aurora Mission - 6 http://www.auroramission.org/

- Baptist International Missions, Inc. - 2 (Working with American military) http://www.bimi.org/countries/italy.php

- Baptist Mid-Missions - 1 http://www.bmm.org/BMM/WhereWeServe/Europe/italy.htm

- Baptist World Mission - 4 (Linda and I are missionaries with them.) http://baptistworldmission.org/

- European Christian Mission International - 5 http://www.ecmi.org/133126.ihtml

- World Wide New Testament Baptist Missions - 1 http://www.wwntbm.com/index.htm

- Independents (not associated with a mission board) - 1

Moving away from missionary activity, an evangelical religious movement is the: Plymouth Brethren - about 274 churches http://www.chiesacristiana.org/chiese/chiese.htm

Italian cuisine

Home-made pasta, Terni style

This is a particular kind of home-made pasta prepared by kneading only flour and water. The work is quite laborious as you must shape the dough into long spaghetti. For 6 persons mix together 600 gms. of flour and enough water to obtain a solid dough. Knead it for long, then take a piece of it at a time and roll it with your hands until you get a long spaghetto. If you have the proper tool the preparation will be easier. Then leave the so obtained pasta to dry for some hours. The usual seasoning is olive-oil fried lightly with some cloves of garlic. If you like, you can add also 500 gms. of ripe tomatoes, peeled and cut into pieces. Leave the tomatoes to thicken a little, then season the pasta cooked to firm to the bite. Sprinkle it over with abundant grated Parmesan cheese.
