Italy: Rome (UTexas)

Rome, “the eternal city” is filled with over 2500 years of history, magnificent buildings, and amazing gelato! It is no wonder that it is one of the top destinations in the world. If you want to experience Italian culture, Rome is where you want to be!

From Galileo to Gucci, Italians have shaped the world. However, few see past their amazing history and culture to recognize that today, there is huge need for the Gospel. While 90% of Italy claims to be Catholic, fewer than 10% attend church more than once a year. Protestant churches are split, weak, and independent in the post-Christian, humanistic culture.

To the average Italian college student, Christianity is irrelevant and churches are for tourists and old people. Cru is bringing the light of Jesus to future world-shapers on university campuses in Rome.

You will learn how to share your faith cross-culturally and build relationships with local Italian students. The training and experience you’ll receive this summer will equip you for a lifetime of ministry.

"All roads lead to Rome…" come join us for this once in a lifetime road trip this summer, bringing the light of the gospel to university students walking in darkness.
