Italy is one of the most overlooked and spiritually neglected mission fields in the world. Yet, the average Christian rarely considers it a place where missions are needed. Today, Italy has a minimal gospel presence and an alarming lack of Biblical churches. Remarkably, the church reformation that transformed much of the world has yet to fully take root in Italy, even 500 years after the Reformation!

You Can Help Make a Difference

When most people think of missions, they imagine remote jungles or tribes. You may feel called to serve but worry you don't have what it takes for 'jungle life.' You might be right! But you might have exactly what it takes for the spiritual jungle of Italy.

At PMc, you can serve among the millions who have yet to hear the Gospel. Going alone can be overwhelming, but we provide the supportive community and practical pathways you need to serve—together with us.

Whether you can serve for a week, a year, or simply stand with us in prayer, there's a place for you here.

Our Mission

Practical Missions Cohort exists to glorify God by engaging ordinary Christians in the extraordinary call of Jesus Christ to proclaim the gospel in word and deed, make disciples, and plant Biblical churches in Italy. We fulfill this mission by recruiting and training both short-term and long-term missionaries through PMc Academia—an immersive, on-the-go training program conducted in the ‘piazza,’ not just the classroom. Our training equips missionaries with a single-minded focus on church planting in the unique context of postmodern and Roman Catholic Italy.

We often think missionaries are needed for the far-off, remote places that are full of physical dangers. The mosquitoes that bit us didn't have malaria, we weren't worried about guerilla soldiers, and didn't have fear of being caught with God's word, but the work done here can be just as daunting and isolating due the the sheer number of the lost, and the wonderful people living here need the Truth just as much as anyone.

It was an absolute pleasure to spend a week with this team, especially the Schreck family. If it is in your heart to support missionaries, please consider them. They are determined in their perseverance to break through the many strongholds here and love the Italian people by tirelessly proclaiming the name of Jesus to their community.
