Italy's Need

The following statistics are from ‘Operation World’, 21st Century Edition, P. Johnstone & J. Mandryk, 2001.

  • 80% of Italians claim to be Catholic, but only 10% practice their religion.  The church has lost 10 million to new age thinking, the occult and materialistic secularism.

  • Occultism is widespread.  There are over 100,000 full-time consulting magicians.  Satanism is strong in the north, Turin being one of the global centers of its activities, which includes praying for the removal of all evangelical missionaries from Italy.

  • Only 1,500 of Italy’s 33,500 communities have an established evangelical witness.  The northeastern Veneto Region has 4 million + people, but only 38 churches and 2,000 evangelical Christians.

  • The Friulians are an unreached minority with their own distinctive culture and language.

  • There is very little outreach in this region with the good news of Jesus Christ.
