1913 Map of Verona

Here is an old 1913 map of Verona that I found online. It shows the main center of town with the Adige river that winds through it.

Approaching Liftoff!

We are approaching the liftoff for this mission. At this very crucial point in the life of our new team something is getting ready to happen. At the beginning of next month, our team will have two of its first few team members finally focusing solely on this new work. For the past seven months, Angie and I have been transitioning off of our old team, Go Ancona, and out of the work here in in Ancona, Italy. However, we are doing the final checklist for liftoff. At the end of this month, July 2007, Angie and I will cease to be on the Ancona team. Starting August 1st, 2007 we will be 100 percent focused on the Verona team and the new work. Part of this will be team building and recruitment, part of this will be on promotion, part of this focus will be on research of Verona and networking with current ministries; and finally part of the move from Ancona to Verona. First we'll pack up all of our things and put them in storage here in Ancona. God provided a great solution for our team. Then we will return to the states in order to promote, recruit and prepare for coming back. As soon as our first team member(s) is(are) ready we'll head back to Italy and begin the first onfield phase of language/culture acquistion. The new team members will be focused on that while we minister to them, researching the city and working on resources for the new work. We are looking at returning around May/June of 2008.
