International Missions
Frank & Pam Apisa
Milan, Italy
Our ministry to young Italians began in Turin, Italy 22 years ago. Once a strong church had been established there, we began a second church plant in 2009 in Milan. Our overall vision is to see every nation reached with the gospel in this generation. Our vision for Italy is to see college students saved and then trained to lead churches in each of the major Italian cities. Jesus said, "But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest." (John 4:35) Please pray that the Lord will bring in a harvest of new believers who will multiply their lives into other disciples.

Justin & Amanda
Milan, Italy
Amanda and Justin were sent by Awaken Church to serve in Milan, Italy in September 2020. They live and work with a local church at the University of Milan, Bicocca. With their two children, Justin and Amanda serve through outreach and evangelism in the neighborhood and on campus as well as preaching and discipleship. Their two children attend Italian public schools and Amanda is building a studio art practice. Although Justin and Amanda are self-funded, you can support their ministry by joining their prayer team or by donating to the Awaken Italy fund to support short term teams and general ministry needs.
Brendan & Allie Palmer
Wycliffe Bible Translators (JAARs)
Brendan and Allie are new Wycliffe members and will serve in aviation roles at JAARs in Waxhaw, NC.
One of JAARS' themes is Making Bible Translation Possible. Technology is improving efficiency of Bible translation, however, terrain in remote areas can be a major barrier for the translation work. Aircraft are often the best mode of getting missionaries and supplies to these locations. The Palmers will be helping to keep the work going by improving, upgrading, and maintaining the aircraft needed for reaching the unreached.
Brendan will be using his mechanical engineering background to help tailor aircraft to improve operations for rigorous environments. Allie will use her avionics experience to improve and upgrade the critical electronic, radio, and safety systems of the aircraft.

Jeremiah Smith will be serving alongside Frank and Pam Apisa and Justin and Amanda at Il Rifugio Church in Milan, Italy. As a team they will be conducting English clubs as the primary form of outreach. Through these English clubs the team hopes to help young adults’ job prospects as they grown in their ability to learn English and to minister to others spiritually and relationally through forming friendships with them. Jeremiah will be focusing on college-outreach as a means of meeting students on campus and discipling young believers as they come to faith in Jesus.
