Yan is Brazilian but moved to Italy in 2018 to begin studies at the University of Bologna. Whilst a student in Italy (and previously in Brazil), Yan was involved in sharing the gospel student to student (with the IFES affiliated Christian Union groups). He has been part of Forte Torre Church since he came to Bologna and has been involved with the church’s youth work, as well as ministry among teenagers from churches across the region.
Together with his wife Giulia, Yan decided to stay in Bologna because of the ministry training opportunities available there. He hopes that the Applicazione course, alongside serving at Forte Torre two days a week, will be a good training ground for seeing if he should pursue ministry as a pastor teacher long term. Yan says, ‘Applicazione gives us a panoramic view of God’s word and also a specific view of a single book. It make us more confident when we share the gospel with other people and allows us to prepare others to do the same. Knowing God’s word better allows us to be better sharers of it.’
Yan started with Applicazione in 2020 and will finish in 2023. He needs £315 per year for his studies. Please consider joining Yan in gospel partnership, praying with him and supporting him financially. Through partnering with Yan, you can play a real part in indigenous gospel mission.
