Website Launch

This past spring Jonathan began to seriously consider launching a website in Italian.  He was challenged and inspired by the writings on a blog called PleaseConvinceMe.com that defends the Christian faith.  He didn't want to necessarily write his own material if there was already great material out there.  He requested permission from Jim Warner and was granted permission to translate any and all of their materials into Italian.  Actually, Jim was quite pleased and so gracious in communications with Jonathan.

This summer Jonathan has been working hard at translating articles.  Some subjects are really stretching and growing his Italian vocabulary.  So proud of his perseverance and rise to the challenge.  We pray this website will encourage the Italian believers and also be beneficial to the skeptic, seeker or anyone who might stumble across the website.  He is excited that he can track the amount of hits and see from where people have accessed it (facebook, internet search etc.)  This will be an ongoing project for Jonathan and I know he would appreciate your prayers regarding the project.

The website is called Credo Perché (I believe Because).  At the bottom of each article is a link back to the original one in English if you are interested in reading some of the material for yourself.

Wow! So cool! I can't imagine translating all that. Good work! Will pray that God will use it for His glory and give you both strength to persevere.

Wow! That's really a cool idea. Praying God will bless it and facilitate Jonathan's translation.

Can't find the link to read the entries in English. Is the link in Italian?
