Forterocca opens its doors

What a location for an international ministry training center!English/Espanol


OM Italy's new ministry centre "Forterocca" (meaning The Rock) opened its doors for the first time the spring of 2008. A group of 100 people from a church in Milan came to have their retreat over the Easter week-end.  It proved a tremendous blessing and encouragement for the OM Italy team to see the centre filled with people for the first time.

"Up to the day before the arrival of the group we were not sure whether the local authorities would grant us the permission to use the facility and host the people," shared OM Italy leader Eliseo Guadagno. 

"But God is faithful, and Friday night, just few hours before the expected arrival of the group, we got a permission to open the centre.  Praise the Lord for His faithfulness: in these last months and years he has stopped us from relying on our own abilities and resources, but instead to always keep our eyes on Him, who never fails.  Thank you for your prayers, and your encouragement."

FORTEROCCA ABRE SUS PUERTAS

El nuevo centro de ministerio de OM Italia, llamado Forterocca (Torre Fuerte) abrió sus puertas por primera vez durante la pascua. Un grupo de 100 personas de una iglesia en Milano llegó para tener su retiro durante el fin de semana de pascua. Ver el centro lleno de gente por primera vez fue de tremenda bendición y ánimo para el equipo de OM Italia.

“Hasta el día antes de que el grupo llegara, no estábamos seguros de que las autoridades nos dieran el permiso para utilizar el centro y albergar gente”, dijo Eliseo Guadagno, director de OM Italia. “Pero Dios es fiel y el viernes por la noche, a pocas horas del arribo del grupo, nos llego la autorización. Alaba al Señor por su fidelidad, en los últimos meses y años Él no nos ha permitido apoyarnos en nuestras propias habilidades y recursos, sino que siempre tengamos nuestros ojos en Él, quien nunca falla. Gracias por sus oraciones y el ánimo que nos imparten”.
