Schreck's most recent
Jesse Schreck
Originally from Allentown, Pennsylvania, Jesse has been serving in Italy as a full-time career missionary since 2007. He learned the Italian culture and language and was personally trained by a veteran missionary church planter in missions, evangelism, and church planting during his time with Saints Equipped to Evangelize (June 2007 - Jan. 2016). Jesse, by God's grace, together with the board of directors, founded PMc to carry on living and teaching the increasingly less known and understood work of Missionary Church Planting (apostolic-style).
Currently, Jesse is serving as a PMc missionary and church planter while also serving as the PMc on-field director. Together with his wife, they are laboring to see Jesus form a new church plant in Venezia Mestre. They pray that PMc will be a tool in the Lord's hands to involve and equip many of God's people in His unique work in Italy to establish Biblical churches to the end that more lost can be saved, more lives transformed by the Gospel, more disciples made, more men equipped for pastoral ministry, more missionaries enrolled, equipped and sent out to more cities and people for years to come.
...I am sending you to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me. Acts 26: 17b-18

Jeryvee Schreck
Jesse's wife. Originally from Batangas in the Philippines, she came to Italy for economic purposes when she was 17. While in Italy she became a part of the church family called Lord Jesus Philippine Fellowship (LJPF), in Reggio Calabria. A church that has grown in the last 25 years from 1 to 13 different churches throughout Italy plus 5 churches in the Philippines along with Saints Bible Institute of Church Planting of the Philippines. Jesse and Jeryvee met at one of the LJPF annual conferences hosted in San Lorenzo Italy where Jesse was previously stationed.
Jeryvee's heart is burdened for the people of Italy. Religion is strong in Italy, but few know the God of the Bible. Few people know the Lord Jesus in a personal way and fewer still know the way of salvation as given to us in the Holy Scriptures - by grace alone and through faith in Jesus Christ.
Aside from caring for Jesse as his helper and being a full-time housewife and mother, she plays an active role in church planting with her warm and friendly personality, musical passion, and ministry to the kids.
"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." Matt. 5: 14-16
