The roadto Rome.
Why Italy,
and why now.
Italy is where the early church met the power of Rome and outlasted it. Paul arrived here in chains and wrote letters that still shape the church today. Believers worshipped underground in the catacombs, and later movements like Francis of Assisi called the church back to simple devotion.
Verity Italy will bring this story to groups who want history, depth and beauty together. We're shaping our first itineraries now, and leaders who register early get priority dates and help design the program.

the story itself.
Toward Rome
After shipwreck on Malta, Paul came ashore on the Bay of Naples and found brothers and sisters waiting.
"And so we went toward Rome."
ACTS 28:14
He took courage
On the ancient road, the church of Rome walked out to meet a prisoner in chains, and hope was renewed.
"Whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage."
ACTS 28:15
Not ashamed
In the capital of the empire, read the letter Paul wrote to this church before he ever arrived.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation."
ROMANS 1:16
The course finished
Stand in the cell remembered as Paul's final prison and hear his last words to Timothy.
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."
2 TIMOTHY 4:7
A cloud of witnesses
Walk the tunnels beneath the Appian Way, where early believers buried their dead with carvings of hope.
"We also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses."
HEBREWS 12:1
Everything given
In the Umbrian hills, remember a young man who took the Gospel at its word and changed the church.
"Go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven."
MATTHEW 19:21
Every site,
a chapter.
Assisi
Home of Francis, whose radical simplicity renewed the medieval church.
