Evangelical Fellowship/Church in the heart of Florence, Italy

Comunità Evangelica Internazionale di Firenze

Florence Gospel Fellowship International aimes to provide the international students in Florence, Italy - and the English speaking community in town - with spiritual and relational support, through services such as counseling, orientation, weekly home groups, cultural exchange with Italian students, and a Sunday contemporary worship - celebration service.

If you happen to pass there at 6:30 pm on a Sunday, you can hear music coming out of the door at Via de' Benci 9, in Florence.What is this, a party? A community center? Some cultural group?You see them enter, all these international students of the universities and colleges of Florence. On the door you see written, “Florence Gospel Fellowship International.”Your curiosity piqued, you poke your head through the doorway just to take a look and find young men and women singing in English, some standing with their arms outstretched, others sitting with eyes closed, while still others have clasped hands together.You step inside and feel the welcoming atmosphere wrapping around you like a warm blanket, finding yourself trying to follow along and even join in with the heart-warming contemporary gospel music.Then you hear that they are telling their “life stories,” sharing what God has done in their lives recently that truly changed them. It’s true. These are those same international students you see walking to school every other day of the week. They travel thousands of kilometers to study abroad for six months in our city, wanting to learn about our rich culture, history and traditions.But, through their own lives, they encourage us to rediscover the roots of our Christian faith - the faith that has inspired so many artistic masterpieces which have made not just our city but our entire nation famous around the world.

I have a very special opportunity I would like to share with you. As many of you know, Natalie and I had the opportunity to go to West Bengal, India back in February of this year. While we were there, we were able to place 11 water wells in a few of the villages where they did not have clean drinking water. We were also able to donate milk goats to some of the poorest families in other villages. Several of you contributed towards this effort which allowed us to accomplish much more than we originally were going to be able to do. I cannot express with words, the deep appreciation the people there displayed at the kindness we were able to show them though these important humanitarian gifts.

Fireproof - Film

2010-06-14T10:30:00.003+02:00

At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter’s adage: Never leave your partner behind. At home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules.

After seven years of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that Catherine wishes she had never married.

Neither one understands the pressures the other faces—he as firefighter and she as the public relations director of a hospital. Regular arguments over jobs, finances, housework, and outside interests have readied them both to move on to something with more sparks.

As the couple prepares to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb’s father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment he calls “The Love Dare.” Wondering if it’s even worth the effort, Caleb agrees, but more for his father’s sake more than for his marriage. When Caleb discovers the book’s daily challenges are tied into his parents’ newfound faith, his already limited interest is further dampened.

While trying to stay true to his promise, Caleb becomes frustrated time and again. He finally asks his father, “How am I supposed to show love to somebody who constantly rejects me?”

When his father explains that this is the love God shows to us, Caleb makes a life-changing commitment to love God. And—with God’s help—he begins to understand what it means to truly love his wife.

But is it too late to fireproof his marriage? His job is to rescue others. Now Caleb Holt is ready to face his toughest job ever … rescuing his wife’s heart.

In his six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never had a winning season. Even the hope of a new season is squelched when the best player on his Shiloh Eagles decides to transfer schools. After losing their first three games of the season, the coach discovers a group of fathers are plotting to have him fired. Combined with pressures at home, Coach Taylor has lost hope in his battle against fear and failure.

However, an unexpected challenge helps him find a purpose bigger than just victories. Daring to trust God to do the impossible, Coach Taylor and the Eagles discover how faith plays out on the field … and off.

This documentary movie, The Final Frontier, investigates the extraordinary and fascinating phenomenon of Near Death Experiences. The movie investigates, explains, and gives objective answers, to this astonishing phenomenon.

This movie records the experiences of individuals who have clinically died, and who crossed the Final Frontier of death, but returned to life to tell their amazing life changing experiences.

In this movie, patients who have been resuscitated following life threatening events document their experiences of Heaven and Hell, and also their encounters with Jesus Christ.

This documentary movie will open your eyes to a world beyond death, and may dramatically change your life here on Earth, and also in Eternity.

The Movie has a running time of 100 minutes, and includes some amazing computer generated graphics of Heaven and Hell. The movie is Cinema quality, and has already been screened in many public cinemas in many countries. The narrative is documentary in style, filmed on the actual locations of the events portrayed, with fantastic special effects, and amazing music.

The movie then turns to the true story of Pastor Daniel Ekechukwu in Nigeria who was raised from the dead after 3 days. Pastor Daniel died after a road traffic accident. His body was in a mortuary for 3 days, and he came back to life at a crusade conducted by Pastor Reinhardt Bonnke. He still has his death certificate, written by a hospital doctor. In the movie he recounts his experiences, with amazing computer generated images of both Heaven and Hell.

The angelic voices that are heard in Heaven are actual angelic voices recorded at a small church in South Africa. The actual footage of the coming back to life of Pastor Daniel is shown in the movie. Pastor Daniel is personally interviewed in the movie.

The movie then concludes with the true story of Ian McCormack who we now work closely with. Ian died in Mauritius for 15 minutes in a hospital Emergency Room, after five separate stings from deadly dangerous box-jelly fish. Ian met Jesus Christ after death, and was transported to both Heaven and Hell. Ian McCormack is personally interviewed in the movie, and his story is filmed on the exact locations in Mauritius. Since this event, over 20 years ago, Ian has travelled without ceasing to many countries, recounting his personal testimony of life after death, and the existence of both Heaven and Hell.

Campus America

2010-06-14T08:30:00.016+02:00

A calling to the colleges and universities of America to pray

Campus America is a simple call for a connected, unbroken Year of Prayer in 2010 on every college and university campus in the U.S., to give every student the opportunity to experience the presence of Jesus.

It’s an invitation to a generation that really could change the course of many thousands of lives, impacting the poor, and spreading the good news about Jesus.

Five years ago, God spoke clearly to Pete Greig and David Blackwell about calling the campuses of America to pray. From that time, the number of 24-7 prayer rooms on campuses in the States began to multiply (at last count, 24-7 Prayer had already impacted 20% of campuses). The stories emerging from these prayer rooms were often extraordinary. Lives were changed, students encountered the presence of God, there was great creativity and people who weren’t Christians met Christ in these prayer rooms too. “The idea of seeing these prayer rooms multiply on every campus in the U.S. seems thrilling and terrifying,” says Pete Greig. “Exciting because we have reason to believe it could impact the nation. Terrifying because this thing is utterly impossible unless God makes it happen.”

The challenges of America's campuses are severe and urgent. The most recent research by Gallup indicates that there are 74% fewer confessing Christians on America ’s campuses than in the population at large. Unless something happens quickly, the Church in America will be almost decimated within this generation. And it’s not just about filling pews. It’s about the Gospel of Jesus impacting the poorest people in the world and it’s about tomorrow’s leaders being shaped by a Biblical world view, and it’s about universities themselves remembering their own Christian roots.
