Embracing Evangelism in Italy: Challenges, Perseverance, and Practical Wisdom

This video, featuring insights from Jesse Schreck of Missions Incorporated, explores the unique challenges and opportunities faced by missionaries in Italy, amidst its deeply rooted yet often non-practicing Catholic culture. It emphasizes the necessity of perseverance, the embrace of suffering for the gospel, and adapting evangelistic methods to connect with 'ready hearts.' Drawing on scriptural examples, particularly Paul's journey, and practical tips, including lessons learned from an Italian midwife, the video advocates for a persistent, tailored approach to evangelism. Personal anecdotes, the importance of diversity in missionary methods, and the critical nature of enduring hardship as part of one's Christian duty are discussed. The overarching message encourages viewers not to lose heart in the face of adversity but to continue supporting evangelistic work in Italy, offering ways to engage and connect with the mission.

We are now picking up our series on Questions and Answers. This process began back when we used to have Q&A panels with missionaries and students from the USA at SBI. It is a great way to let people ask questions about missions, evangelism, and church planting to real missionaries to Italy. The question for today is an important one because this life-changing and forming discipline has been largely lost in our day.
Q | How do you do family worship/devotions on the mission field?

In addition to sharing how we personally live this out, we also share why this is so important, 3 practical tips, and two book recommendations for others.

Missions Incorporated - Mr. Thou Art

In this episode we begin a new series where we teach some lessons on evangelism taken from our evangelism encounters in Italy.
Mr. Thou Art is the name give to the man we were evangelizing in order that we can better remember the experience and pray for him specifically.
Some things he said include:

"I'm the best artist in the world."
"Europe doesn't know what good art is."
"My name goes back 700 years, but I cannot tell you what it is; it's a secret."
"F*&% America. F&%* Europe."

Two lessons:
1. There are signs that help you understand when one is likely possessed of evil spirits. Knowing the signs helps.
2. Do you best, by His grace, when you evangelize, but always remember that salvation belongs to the Lord and He knows those who are His; God alone predestines, calls, justifies and glorifies. Romans 8:29-30, 2 Timothy 2:19

In ep. 301 of Missions Incorporated, the podcast of Practical Missions, we talk about the art of good neighboring as it relates to evangelism. We discuss how to avoid feeling burdened about the need to evangelize in your immediate circle of influence (family, neighbors, co-workers) because it often leads to severed relationships and/or awkwardness. Before diving into today's lesson we also share some ministry updates, prayer requests, and opportunities.
