| Italy group 2016 |
We all returned safe and sound from a wonderful work week in Italy, which we organized for the third year.
With a small group of volunteers we stayed at Casa Shalom for a week. It is one of the houses in the Christian therapeutic community Comunita Brezzano in beautiful Tuscany.

| Massa Marittima |
We all worked very hard, sawing, chopping, cutting and stacking firewood to replenish their supply for the winter. The three houses in the residential community are being heated by wood stoves, and this requires quite some wood before winter begins.
With the help of Adrie, Anja, Arno, David, Henk Jan, Johan, Marja and Michael the job was done.

The theme for the week was more than conquerors and each night we did a Bible study on that topic. It was a good combination of fun and seriousness... a day at the beach, a visit to the medieval town of Massa Marittima, and praying, talking, and singing together. We got to know each other better each day and also to function as a group.
We can truly say that all of us gained some new insights about gaining and keeping the victory!
We were able to let our light shine in Italy and it is our prayer that it will have a great and positive effect on the lives of the people there as well as on us as a group!
It is so much more fun to give than to receive.
