Their church is called ' Incontro Con Gesu', ('Meet with Jesus') because initially there wasn't a church building and they would sit at cafes in town with a bible on the table and a sign saying 'Incontro con Gesù'.

They are growing through small groups/house churches in surrounding areas which they support as well. They serve also in practical ways: providing food/clothing/counselling to the many refugees, foreigners and others living in poverty in Genova.This ministry is a a charity called "Mani del Maestro” (Hands of the Master) and draws 50+ families to receive practical help and hear the Word.

Jonny is the General Director and heads up the Management Team, Training and Development, Finance, Environment, and Building Projects. Lynsey helps him with the Management Team and Training and Development, and is Director of Development of the Little Counters Kindergarten.

The family are very happy in Moshi, and their kids Abi (14), Eli (12), Nathan (8), and Josiah (5) think of Moshi as home.

Jonny and Lynsey have a lot more responsibility than they had originally intended, which they admit can be quite scary, but fortunately God knows them well, and He has eased them into their roles.
