A missionary couple: Walter and Elizabeth
Hasenfratz, from Switzerland, arrived in Sicily with their family during
the 70s. They settled at Nicosia, an important town in the province of
Enna. With the help of different teams (mostly from Switzerland), in the
course of two decades they have seen God's blessing on their ministry.
Currently the Christian Bible Church has more than 30 members who regularly
attend. An encouraging ministry among the youth goes forward. Worthy of
specific mention is the witness given by the social work: Il Faro, in which
the Hasenfratz and several others are actively involved. This center came
into existence to meet the need of providing shelter for young single mothers
and needy children. The development and progress of this important ministry
has been of great encouragement and the testimony of the church itself
has been greatly enhanced.
