Mark and Jane Oden

Mark and Jane lead a church plant in the heart of Naples.
Naples a city of contrasts: sun and light, shadow and darkness, life and vitality, death and decay. There are 4.5 million busy, energetic people and over 144,000 students. The vast majority of residents do not know their right hand from their left, spiritually speaking.
Here's a taste of Chiesa Evangelica Neapolis:
Mark and Jane have set up a fund to resource young Neapolitans wishing to engage in full-time gospel ministry. If you wish to give in support of this ministry click here.
Mark and Jane have four children: Sofia, Inez, Luisa and Archie.

Dear gospel partners,
We apologise for not having written for a while! We remain incredibly grateful to the Lord for your love and generosity towards us. What a privilege it has been over the years to have been upheld by your prayers as we seek to reach out to the people of Naples with the gospel. There are lots of reasons to give thanks over the last six months!
Please give thanks…
For life feeling relatively normal again post-pandemic here in Naples. Apart from the children still having to wear masks in school, we are able to do everything as we used to. We are back to eating together as a church every Tuesday evening after our Bible Study. We have also been able to get back into each other’s homes for our midweek prayer meetings. We’ve enjoyed a couple of evangelistic meals since we last wrote (photo above), we’ve tried some street preaching and our evangelistic youth group (Neapolis Rock Solid) has been a great encouragement. We remain very grateful for close relationships within the church that have built up over these years.
