Mission Italia

Serving in the heart of Italy, with Italy in our hearts.

Who We Are

Mission Italia is the ministry of Mario and Sheila Scorziello, serving in Italy since 1989. Our aim is to reach and disciple the seeking hearts of Italy with the Good News of Jesus Christ, one heart at a time.

Colossians 1:28-29

What We Do

Outreach

Three smiling women sit together on tiled steps, reading an open Bible and sharing a warm, sharing moment outdoors.

We endeavor to reach people with the Gospel through friendship, evangelism, service, and practical volunteer work.

Discipleship

A young couple sits beside a calm lake, reading a Bible together; their relaxed, intimate moment conveys warmth and peaceful outdoor connection.

We also disciple and encourage churches, groups and individuals through mentoring, teaching and preaching.

Teaching

We are currently serving as pastors of a church in Lanciano, a city located in the Abruzzo region of Italy.
