Roots & Revival

ITALY

Roots & Revival invites you to journey through the heart of Italy—from the catacombs of Rome to the quiet hills of Assisi—where stories of faith still echo in stone and sky. We’ll trace the footsteps of Peter and Paul, linger in places where early believers gathered in secret, and walk the countryside paths that shaped the life of St. Francis. Along the way, we’ll share meals, reflect on Scripture, and explore how the roots of the early church speak to our lives today. This 8-day experience is designed for those seeking rest, connection, and a deeper walk with God. Come with us on a journey of quiet strength and spiritual renewal.
