ECM currently has church planting ministries in Bergamo, Montichiari (province of Brescia) and Rovereto (province of Trentino). We are looking for people to start new church plants in the area between Bergamo and Trento, especially around Lake Garda. The current team of ECM missionaries know this area well and have built contacts. Yet, there are many towns with no known evangelical witness. You could either work alone, supported (at a distance of 30-60 km) by ECM missionaries and churches that we're in contact with, or work together with one of the current church planting teams. You would need to raise up prayer for the town you settle in, start to make contacts and then start Bible studies before pioneering a new church plant. It would be possible to be bi-vocational, combining your mission work with a local job if you are able to find employment in the area. This may enable you to make contacts and give validity to your decision to live in this region.

We are looking for people who have experience in a pioneering situation, are self starters and find it easy building relationships. Are you an active member of your church and either speak Italian or are willing to learn it?

If so, please get in touch with us to find out more.
