Salerno, Italy, project in university newspaper


Looks like I've been away for awhile! Too busy moving to Florida to do much posting. Two weeks without Internet doesn't help, either! But looking back through my mail, I discovered that 23 students from UCF and Mississippi State went to Salerno, Italy.

Salerno is a beautiful seaside town in southern Italy, and is known for having the one of the oldest medical schools in Europe (founded in the 800s - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schola_Medica_Salernitana)



The project students were looking for English-speaking Italians who wanted to talk about spirtual things, and wound up meeting several hundred students. They tried to bring the Scriptures into every conversation, and had several good discussions about the Lord.

One way they met students was through football (soccer) -- I'm putting a picture of the USA vs Italy teams below.

The UCF student newspaper even wrote an article about the project! Check it out at
