Our Waiting Continues...

Late May or early June was the target date we set for ourselves to return to work in Italy. We believed this would allow ample time for our passports and visas to be returned by the Italian consulate.

We've recently learned that shortly after our documents and passports were submitted this spring, the entire Italian immigration system went down for a few weeks. There are also rumors of a computer hack (as has happened in several other countries). And so, we find ourselves waiting in limbo with no idea when our paperwork might be processed. Just one example of the complexities of establishing ourselves in another country.

In the meantime, we will continue to connect with supporters in the US and prepare our hearts and minds for what awaits us back on the field.

Please pray with us for a swift approval so that we might soon get settled and back to work in Italy.

Marcos & Katherine Lovaglio Arco, Italy

Upon arrival in Italy, we look forward to working more closely with Marcos and Katherine.

It has been a joy to support and encourage them in ministry. They are so talented and committed...giving their all to share the love of Jesus.

Check out this great interview with them conducted by Nate Tatman, regional coordinator for Europe and the Middle East on the podcast, A World of Good.

Pray for favor and promptness in the visa approval process. And for us to have patience!
Pray for additional individual AND church partners and regular pledges, necessary to sustain our ministry in Europe.
Pray for our team members and the churches in the region as they continue to deliver much-needed supplies in Ukraine.
Praise the Lord that Marco had a wonderful first year at Gordon College and is excited for next year. We cherish our time with him this summer.
