Description: Ministry of David, Jana, Lucas, & Sofia Showalter
BACKGROUND: Every culture has unique and varied ways in which it displays both the glory/creativity of God and the depravity of mankind. Living and working in Italy for many years has given me time to observe both in the Italian context. Italy is a land of incredible contrasts: i.e. the stunning beauty of this scene in Sesto Calende and the darkness of the deception used in everyday Italian life without a second thought.
CONTEXT: I was in the process of changing home internet providers from Infostrada to Fastweb.
My cell phone rang: a number from Pisa that I didn’t recognize. On an adventurous whim I took a risk and answered, “Pronto.”
