eDOT Work:
We are working with the Istituto Centro Biblico Italia (ICBI), which is located in the Naples area of Italy. This partner is working with 25 churches primarily in southern Italy to provide biblical training. They desire to develop online learning courses to reach church leaders in Italy who want a Biblical education, but are not able to travel to a residential program. This work began in June 2006 with the translation of the first Moody course. We have also been in contact with several churches in northern Italy interested in using the Internet to reach their communities.
