Jesse discusses the challenges of limited resources and isolation faced by missionaries in Italy, where biblical churches are scarce, and shares practical ways to advocate effectively. The episode also includes updates on a mission facility fundraiser, a call for volunteers, and a heartfelt reflection on the recent passing of Jesse’s father-in-law.

In this episode, missionary Jesse Schreck shares a powerful sermon preached to brothers and sisters at a US Army base in Italy, based on 2 Corinthians 11:1-6. Join us as Jesse unpacks the Apostle Paul’s bold defense against false "super apostles" who slandered his ministry and threatened to lead the Corinthian believers astray from a pure and sincere devotion to Christ. This message challenges us to reject passivity, stand firm in truth, and live faithfully for God’s glory. Learn how Paul’s example speaks to us today, encouraging believers to pursue truth with zeal and remain devoted to the true Christ. Jesse also shares ministry updates, including opportunities to get involved through vision trips, a mission facility fundraiser, short-term mission trips, and roles like missionary advocate, podcast producer, or admin assistant. Discover how you can play a tangible role in reaching Italy for Christ, where less than 0.6% of the population are evangelical believers. Appreciate this content?
