Ciao! I'm Luke. An American guy who found his real home in Italy ten years ago. I've been moving around Italy since I was eight, falling in love with this country and its people. I have a deep passion for this nation that I never want to lose.

I just moved to Urbino, Italy. A very small University city with fifteen thousand locals and another fifteen thousand students. My parents, six staff and I are starting a café with the goal to give students a home away from home. A place where they can feel at peace, loved, and hopefully get some work done. Many of the students come from southern Italy where they have a healthy Christian community and a family that loves Jesus. They move here and are greeted with none of that. Our goal is to become that community and family. The coffee shop is a way to become  a part of that community and create real, deep connections that lead to the pursuit of Christ.

I'm raising support to pay for:

1) Expenses such as vehicle and travel

2) Giving

3) Investing in my future

My goal is to raise $450 USD a month. Not only will this help me with my expenses, but it will also give me the opportunity to get my final requirement for my Italian Citizenship! If you feel led to give, I would be so grateful and honored.

Please pray for Urbino with me. That this city would become a furnace for Christ, Jesus! That people would come to Urbino, and know that the Holy Spirit resides in this city.
