In Episode 336 of Missions Incorporated, host Jesse Schreck tackles a vital question for missionaries in Italy: How should we engage Italians in spiritual discussions, considering their Catholic background? Jesse explores the nuances of Italy’s predominantly Roman Catholic culture, where 90% identify as Catholic, yet only 5% actively practice. He emphasizes finding common ground, clarifying the true gospel, and addressing misconceptions like baptismal regeneration. Key strategies include encouraging Italians to read the Bible, discussing the necessity of being born again, and using presuppositional apologetics to challenge secular worldviews. Jesse also shares practical tips for effective outreach, such as forming missionary bands, distributing gospel literature, and hosting community events. Stick around for ministry updates, prayer requests, and opportunities to get involved with Practical Missions Cohort in Italy!
