 Isabel, Samantha and Asengika, are three friends working together in the evangelism and worship ministry of International Christian Fellowship (ICF) in Rome, Italy. Isabel from Ethiopia, is a student at the university, works at a job, and directs the "Evangelism Ministry" of ICF. When she was a baby, her mogther had to send her to live with an Italian family because she could not keep her as she worked as a "live-in" housekeeper. Other difficult things fell her lot, but instead of making her bitter, she found the real and living Jesus. She is passionate for the Lord and wants to tell others of that "blessed hope" found only in Christ.
Samantha, after finishing her studies in England, came to Italy for a short stay with her mother who is a diplomat from one of the African countries which is experiencing difficulty. Butr God's plans were different and Samantha stayed in Rome. She now works at the European Space Agency. But more importantly, she is a "soldier for the Lord" and is involved with evangelism and teaching children. She also sings in the worship team at ICF.
 Asengika is from Sri Lanka. She and her mother fled to Italy when their country was engaged in war. "Asangi" has emerged from a "casual Christian" that was occasionally in church on Sunday to a "warrior" for the Lord. She directs the children's Sunday School, goes out on the street every week to share Jesus with those she meets and works at the ICF church office.
 Then there is Lucy, a young Kenyan woman with an unselfish love for the people who live on the street. She and a team prepare food and take needed supplies weekly to the homeless that live in Rome. Rain or shine, heat or cold, this special group of soldies go to the main train and bus station and share their love with meals and the Gospel. She returns to her home weekly with wonderful reports of salvations and miracles.
