Empire); the 'catholica' (the imperial claims of the Roman Catholic church with its false gospel); the 'palazzo' ("palace" - meaning the twisted ways of the political power - Rome is the political center of the country); and the 'dolce vita' (the sinful "sweet life" that makes Rome famous). Peoples lives are dominated by these idols and our battle will be against them as we preach the life changing message of the gospel. Q. What are you seeking from God as you pursue His work there and what might you need from others? Leonardo: We decided that the church will be called: Breccia di Roma Chiesa Evangelica (Breach of Rome Evangelical Church). Breccia (English: breach) is used in the Bible (especially the OT) to indicate the opening of a door in a city fortress. We pray that God will be pleased to open a significant door in this needy town, allowing the gospel to go forth (Colossians 4:2-4). The word "breccia" also evokes an event in Italian history (September 20, 1870) when the Italian army made a "breach" in the city walls (then governed by the pope) and reduced the pontifical state to its present-day dimensions. We pray that God will be pleased to use the church to reach the city with the claims of the Gospel. So we need global prayers to see the work taking off. As the work expands we would also need coworkers and supporters for this long-term enterprise.
