Winter School of Truth (WST) 2019 – Netherlands
In December 2019, 10 young people participated, 4 brothers and 6 sisters. These young people came from Milan (6), Vicenza (3) and Rome (1). 5 of them participated for the first time and 2 of them got baptized.
The subject was “The Vision and Building Up of the Church”. All the YPs enjoyed the activities and shared during the group times and the meetings. It was very encouraging to them, even when they returned to their locations.
Europe Young People Conference (EYPC) 2020
Due to the Covid, this year (2020) the European Young People’s Conference in Poland (EYPC) took place online through the Zoom platform.
The topic for this year is “Men Who Turn The Age”. It was wonderful that 29 young people, ages 12 to 19, and 17 serving ones registered; this is the highest number who registered EYPC ever than before in Italy. Among 8 brothers and 21 sisters, 20 young people participated the first time. They formed 6 small groups. In the groups, some young people were very active in the meetings. Some who were born in the Church Life, were saved and baptized. Some of these young people continued to meet once a week to enjoy Bible reading and conference materials together after conference.
Among these young people, 3 from Aosta, 1 from Genoa, 12 from Milan, 8 from Vicenza, 4 from Prato and 1 from Rome. Most of these young people speak at least two languages and Italian is their first language, the other languages are: Spanish, Chinese, Romanian, Russian, in addition to English that they study at school.
We pray that the Lord will raise more serving ones who speak Italian, who have the burden to take care of the young people and who can shepherd them continuously.
