New Christian: Valentina
It's been another amazing day here in Salerno. We feel very privileged to share with you all one of the many testimonies of someone coming to know Christ this summer.
Amy:
Sarah and I saw a girl sitting on the bench, watching us walk toward her. We started a conversation and noticed that she spoke little English. She said she believes there is a God and when we asked why He should let her into Heaven, she said because she respects people. So we gave her the Four Laws in Italian and she read every word out loud. She understood that sin separated her from God and that she needed a way to Him. When she read that Jesus said “I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father expect through me”, she noticed this was different than what she previously believed. We talked about how faith in Christ is the only way to God, not her works of respecting people. And then she prayed to trust Christ and said she believed what she prayed. We asked her if she believed differently after she read than before and she said, “Yes, now I have God.” Her name is Valentina; please pray for her!
What an amazing testimony! May we never grow tired of hearing about people coming to know the Lord. Keep Valentina in your prayers, and pray for all of the other students that have come to know Christ. We've still got 2 weeks on campus, and we can't wait to see what God has in store. There are more testimonies to come, so check back.

that's incredible! thanks so much for all of you being there and being diligent and bold with the Gospel! I'll be there in a few months and I'm overwhelmed by the work God is doing. You have already seen more fruit in half of a summer project than any STINT team has seen in any full year in any city in Italy. Please continue. Please keep pouring the Gospel onto that campus. I'm am praying daily that you will see abundant fruit until the end. Drew (salerno alumnus)
