Paul Chatfield
Turin, ItalyPaul is the pastor of The International Church of Torino and he has a heart for outreach at the university; in particular, giving lectures to students on matters of the heart.
He says:
“Europe is now the continent with the fewest percentage of evangelical Christians, and it is increasingly harder to be taken seriously if you profess Christ. The universities, once founded to know God and his plan for the world, are now amongst the most secular institutions in Western Europe. It is my passion to interact with this culture of disbelief, specifically here in Italy.”

M & S
EurasiaM & S are based in Eurasia, and we have purposefully not shared their names online due to the sensitive nature of the country and their work.
They say:
“Through ‘vision trips’, incredible gospel opportunities, answers to prayer, and personal relationships, God has moved us to want to serve him here. We long to see lives once shattered and displaced by trauma restored through the true hope of Christ our suffering redeemer, and his promised new creation.”
