The IMB's October 22 profile follows Jason and Lizzy Davis and Italian believers in a new Rome church plant. The missionaries describe the congregation of about 15 as the only evangelical church they know of in a neighborhood with roughly 130,000 residents.
The article recounts the ministry's testimony of Luca, formerly an atheist, and Elena, formerly nominally Catholic, coming to faith and serving in the church. It emphasizes meals, Bible study, language learning, and long-term relationships rather than a rapid campaign model.
The population, congregation, and testimony details are ministry-reported and not independently audited. The account is a local ministry profile, not a representative measure of evangelical presence across Rome or Italy.
