about
Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a country in Southern Europe, located on a peninsula extending into the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia, and also encloses two independent states: Vatican City and San Marino. The capital and largest city is Rome.
Italy is known for its scenic landscapes and has played a central role in world history as being home of the Roman Empire, one of the greatest civilizations in history and the birthplace of the Renaissance, a cultural and artistic revival. Italy has had a profound influence on art, architecture, law, and Western civilization.
River of Life Christian Church was introduced to Pastor Michael Tagoe through Pastor Texford, National Director in Ghana, at a pastoral conference in Africa. Pastor Michael Tagoe was later commissioned and sent to plant a church in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
The River of Life church in Italy is a vibrant African congregation, drawing many immigrants from English-speaking African nations. Since its establishment in Reggio Emilia, the church has expanded to plant two additional churches in the cities of Verona and Trento.

義大利，正式名稱為義大利共和國，是位於南歐的一個國家，坐落於伸入地中海的半島上。它與法國、瑞士、奧地利和斯洛維尼亞接壤，境內還包含兩個獨立國家：梵蒂岡和聖馬利諾。首都和最大城市是羅馬。
義大利以其優美的風景而聞名，作為羅馬帝國的發源地，在世界歷史上扮演著舉足輕重的角色。羅馬帝國是歷史上最偉大的文明之一，也是文藝復興——一場文化和藝術的復興——的發源地。義大利對藝術、建築、法律和西方文明都產生了深遠的影響。
在非洲的一次牧者聯禱會上，迦納地區主任 Texford 牧師向 Michael Tagoe 牧師介紹了生命河事工。之後，Michael Tagoe 牧師受命前往義大利雷焦艾米利亞建立教會。
義大利生命河教會是一個充滿活力的非裔教會，吸引了許多來自英語非洲國家的移民。自其在雷焦艾米利亞成立以來，該教會已發展壯大，在維羅納和特倫托兩座城市又建立了兩座分堂。
