Pizza and Missions Night

We had a wonderful time with the saints at Foundation Reformed Church last night for a missions gathering. It was a nice turnout. Good fellowship, good food, and a focus on the Great Commission and the work of the Lord in Italy. We enjoyed sharing a fresh presentation on Italy, the need, and the work of PMc and Vera Vita. SDG

345: Rest, Compassion, and God's Multiplication: Lessons from the Feeding of the 5,000

In this special episode of Missions Incorporated Podcast, recorded on the road in the US, Jesse shares a powerful sermon from Mark 6 on Jesus feeding the 5,000. What begins as a much-needed rest for weary disciples turns into a beautiful display of Christ's compassion, divine power, and training of His followers.

Drawing from his own missionary experiences in Italy and the life of the late Kurt Jost, Jesse unpacks five soul-strengthening truths for faithful servants: the importance of rest and reflection, compassion for the lost, our need for the true Good Shepherd, dependence on God's strength, and why God's way is always better.

Whether you're serving locally, on the mission field, or feeling worn out in ministry, this episode will encourage you to trust Jesus, offer what little you have, and watch Him multiply it for His glory.

Perfect for missionaries, pastors, and everyday disciples.

Activity in the US

Our time in Levittown was tremendously refreshing. Our hearts are full. The fellowship was sweet. The kids had the time of their lives. The hospitality and care shown to us was so gracious. The Saturday night missions pizza gathering was super encouraging. The Pillar Network conference on Monday was super refreshing. It was great to meet so many like-minded folks living actively for the Lord and linking arms.

Now we are in PA for the remainder of our trip. Last night we joined the Ezra Institute conference, featuring Dr. Joe Boot. We will be there tonight and tomorrow as well. This coming Sunday we will be with the church family at Foundation Reformed Church in Coopersburg.

We invite you to join us in prayer for a fruitful trip as we seek to network, create awareness about Italy, and recruit new missionaries to join in on the Lord's work in Italy with PMc. SDG
