In January of 1996, the Lord led the Wolsieffers to an old Italian farmhouse located in the middle of an olive grove. Approximately 11,000 square feet of space is available for a Christian resource/training/counseling center. All activities and projects for this center, called "Risorse del Levante" (Resources on the Horizon), are coordinated to be a part of their overall strategy plan for evangelism.

Since 1996, 102 participants from 14 different cities have completed 116 hours of seminar instruction in basic people helping skills.

In 1997, Mark and Lisa Pruden from Cincinnati, OH made their third short-term mission trip to give advanced seminar training.

As part of our outreach ministry, the center has been training health care workers and case workers in listening skills since January of 1999.

The local chapter of the Red Cross of Francavilla completed 12 hours of listening skills at the center in July of 2000.

In addition numerous individuals come to the center for counseling and we have worked with local government organizations and qualified specialists in cases of suspected sexual abuse.

We also organize youth meetings and children's activities for area churches.
