Buongiorno!
We are the Holland family who live in Rome, Italy. Loren serves as pastor of Rome International Church, a congregation of the International Baptist Convention. Alaina is a homeschool mom of three boys. All three boys were born on three different continents. First one was born in Ecuador (South America) where we worked with international youth, second in Texas (North America) where Loren finished his MDiv, and third in Italy (Europe) where we currently work.
Diversity is the norm at our church with most everyone in the room coming from a different country and culture. The english language and Jesus are what knits our souls together. It is our desire to see internationals, whether refugee, diplomat, business person or tourist, all find their eternal home in Christ.
Both Loren and Alaina grew up as missionary kids in South America, so we are very familiar with individuals living outside their home culture. Pray with us as we want to develop a mission strategy both locally and internationally, with the goal to plant more International Churches. If you would like to donate to this ministry go to Commission to Every Nation. Thank you for your donations. This is how we are able to stay here and church plant!
