It was a time of renewing the vision of what God is doing in Europe. Many of the students with whom they work went as well. Steve helped an Estonian Christian learn how to witness. Steve says, “My prayer is that he continues to be a light to Estonians.” Other great news involved an Italian student, Virginia Macchioni, who came to the Lord through the ministry of the Duecks. She joined the staff of Agape Italia which makes her the first Italian to be hired in over 5 years. Pray that God would help her raise the support she needs as she strives to serve the Lord in Rome and pray for the Duecks as they continue to disciple her. Please pray that the Lord would be seen through the Duecks with every contact they make. Pray for the salvation of those Estonians who have been challenged to see Christ’s love and purpose. Steve asks for prayer that they would raise their child well and that God would guide them as they set direction for their mission team for the year. "We want to follow the Spirit’s leading and trust the Lord for big things.” STEVE & ALYSSA DUECK AND BABY MATT AGAPE ITALIA, ROME, ITALY

Agape Italia is the name of
Campus Crusade for Christ
in Italy. Since 2008, the Duecks have served at
La Sapienza University. On January 24th of this year,
Matthew Rangvald Dueck made his entrance into this
world. He had some breathing problems, but went
home from the hospital after 8 days. Steve writes, “He
hasn’t stopped providing us great joy to be parents.”
They returned to Rome in March and went to Tallinn,
Estonia, for a European staff conference. It was a time
of renewing the vision of what God is doing in
Europe. Many of the students with whom they work
went as well. Steve helped an Estonian Christian learn
how to witness. Steve says, “My prayer is that he
continues to be a light to Estonians.” Other great
news involved an Italian student, Virginia Macchioni,
who came to the Lord through the ministry of the
Duecks. She joined the staff of Agape Italia which
makes her the first Italian to be hired in over 5 years.
Pray that God would help her raise the support she
needs as she strives to serve the Lord in Rome and
pray for the Duecks as they continue to disciple her.
Please pray that the Lord would be seen through
the Duecks with every contact they make. Pray for
the salvation of those Estonians who have been
challenged to see Christ’s love and purpose.
Steve asks for prayer that they would raise their child
well and that God would guide them as they set
direction for their mission team for the year.
"We want to follow the Spirit’s leading and trust the
Lord for big things.”
