Mark and Jane Oden
Naples a city of contrasts: sun and light, shadow and darkness; life and vitality, death and decay. 4.5 million busy, LOUD, energetic people, over 144,000 students the vast majority of which do not know their right hand from their left spiritually speaking.
In 2013 Mark and Jane moved to Naples with their four children Sofia, Inez, Luisa and Archie to plant a church in the heart of the city and to work with students.
Here's a taste of Chiesa Evangelica Neapolis:
Mark and Jane have also set up a fund to resource young Neapolitans wishing to engage in full-time gospel ministry. This will not be used to support individuals outright but will be used to supplement existing financial support from local churches. They currently support three gospel workers. If you wish to give in support of this ministry click here.

For the regular attendance of five non-believers to all of our weekly meetings:

For the Faith and Reason evangelistic event (20 March), for the presence of a number of non-believers, in particular F, father of one of the youth group and a scientist who has expressed interest in the gospel in the past. He was particularly struck by the event.
