Our Vision
Our vision is to see men and women growing in their faith and becoming disciple makers, church leaders and church planters who have a firm foundation in the Word of God and are faithfully serving the church in the power of the Holy Spirit. We envision planting over 26 churches within Sicily and partnering with leaders to reach and plant more churches wherever God is at work.
Our Mission
Heart of Ezra Ministries exists to advance the mission of Jesus Christ by reaching, raising up and establishing men and women in the Word of God, following Jesus’ disciple making model. Our mission is based out of and starts within Sicily and then reaches out from there throughout Italy, Europe and the ends of the earth. We will accomplish this mission through raising up leaders and church planters who will reach and plant new churches one city at a time. (Matthew 28:18-20)

Teaching
Our model is teaching and modeling the message of Jesus with the methods of Jesus.
Discipleship
We follow the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) using Matthew 4:19 (“...and Jesus said to them, follow me and I will make you fishers of men”). Thus, helping people learn how to follow Christ, be changed by Christ and be on mission with Christ.
Church Planting
The outflow of sharing the gospel and discipling people has allowed us to establish new churches throughout Sicily and now German. We continue to reach new cities in Sicily.
Leadership
Heart of Ezra gives Christian leaders a theological framework to to equip and develop other leaders to make disciples and glorify God effectively as they lead.
Summer Camps
Families are invited to join our summer camps each year where teaching and summer fun activities come together. It is a great relational time for the whole family.
Street Evangelism
Meeting people right where they are, is at the heart of our ministry. From our early years in the tent ministry, we learned the value of sharing the gospel locally, online and more.
Bible School
Using our curriculum, we are able to teach students the basics of the faith through more in-depth studies to help them become disciples of Jesus. We do this in-person as well as online.
