Welcome to the Cultivate Church Planting Podcast with Brian Kelly. In this episode, Brian is joined by Daniel Williams to introduce a special guest, David Downs, who has been serving in Turin, Italy, for nearly two decades. David shares his journey of moving overseas, navigating cultural and bureaucratic challenges, and seeing God provide in unexpected ways.
You’ll hear about the realities of planting a church in a city of over two million people, the importance of pursuing unity among evangelical churches, and the vision for raising up leaders and establishing a lasting gospel presence in northern Italy.
If you’ve ever wondered what long-term missions and church planting look like in Europe, this conversation offers an honest and encouraging perspective on both the trials and the triumphs of ministry in Italy.
