Pray for the Steffenson family as they serve in Italy. Ask God to bless their efforts to learn Italian and to acclimate to their new home. Pray also for the seminarians and students in Italy, that they would be equipped to serve the church and share the Gospel message to the best of their ability. Let us give thanks to God that the Steffensons are serving His people in this part of the world.
