Pictures from Florence

07.03.25 Italy Vision Trip

We're back from Florence! We had a great time getting a taste of ministry in Florence and seeing Italy. We visited three of the different campuses of the university in Florence (the departments are separated into different campuses, called Faculties), Engineering, Architecture, and Novoli, the Law campus. Novoli was the nicest campus, architecture the coolest, but at engineering students were the most open to talking.

One of the best parts of the trip for me was the time I spent with Gary Runn, the campus director and national director of development, and the Stint team. Because they are all in the same place I was while in East Asia in terms of having to make a decision about what to do after this year is up, it was encouraging to me and to them to be able to talk about their options and what the decision process was like for me. I told them all at the end that while my heart still beat for Asia, it had grown room for Italy too!
