What we believe

We strongly believe that the truth of the Gospel applied to every area of society - Family, Church, Education, Media, Celebration (art, entertainment, sport) Business (which starts with innovations in science and technology, productivity, sales, and service) and Government is the only way to transform a nation. Only Christian values and principles based on godly truth will be the way to walk into the inheritance that Nations have in the kingdom of God.
We want to work on it with the joint effort of those who already are doing it and with those who will want to start.

Staff

Luigi and Paola Tommasi (YWAM Milano leaders)

with our three kids Filippo, Stefania and Tommaso.
Luigi worked as professional chef for more than 15 years in restaurants and hotels in Milan. Paola worked for about 10 years in the tourist industry.
Luigi become a follower of Christ in 1980 and Paola in 1995.
In 1999 we got to know ywam Italy and in the 2002 we did our DTS in England. Since that we started to work with ywam Italy first and ywam England later.
In August 2008 we are going to pioneer a ywam operating location in Milan. This is the fulfilment of a vision and desire that we believe God gave us since 1999.

Emily Saylor  from Eugene, Oregon. I'm excited to co-lead the DTS this fall and be a part of the team pioneering YWAM-Italy. I worked in a B&B for 10 years and felt a calling for my life to minister to people who have a spiritual impact on nations, like Pastors and Missionaries. I want to develop a mobile team to visit, encourage, and counsel on the field, and to one day have a retreat center in Italy where they can come to rest and encounter the Lord in a beautiful restful environment with Biblical hospitality.

  David and Debbie Alexander

We have been involved with missions most of our lives. We have served in USA, Mexico, Jamaica and Italy. This is a return for us to Italy after serving here in the 1980’s. We were saved during the Jesus Movement in the 1970’s, so our heart is to see a revival among the youth of Italy and to see them brought into the world evangelism force.

Our dream would be a ministry center focusing on the students and youth of Milan. At this center would be a coffee bar, artistic expression in music and paint, a student outreach, and retreat location.

Tiina Stenberg

I love God, the nations and arts.

I'm a Finn and did my DTS here in Italy. After I have been trained and served with YWAM in 4 different continents and now hope to work long term in this nation to reach the nations.

 Andrea Gatti

I'm Italian and I did my DTS here in Milan. I love Jesus and my dream is to see true worshippers and people who seek God's face. As a part of this dream I would like to have a school for artists where they could develop their talents and attitude of worship. Regarding me, I LOVE GOD, I LOVE HIS PEOPLE but hate religiousness.
