Country Info
Population: 57 million
Religion: Roman Catholic
Language: Italian
Location Description: The Italian boot-like peninsula is in southern Europe, jutting into the Mediterranean. CrossWorld ministry is in and around the northern city of Milan (pop. 4.5 million).
General Strategy
General Strategy: There are several towns near Milan with basically no Gospel witness. Two of these are Vidigulfo and Sesto Callende. We would love to see the gospel expand to these towns and beyond. We envision a church-planting movement in northern Italy in the next ten years.
Type of Ministry
Ministry Type: Through steady long-term relationship building, missionaries have seen the establishment of several new churches in the Milan area. Church growth is strong, with the national leadership growing and reaching out in reproductive ways. For some years there has been a productive outreach to the thousands of university students in Milan.
