Field Report
San Marino is a tiny country sitting on top of a rocky mountain called Mount Titano, right in the middle of Italy. It is so small you could drive across the whole nation in about fifteen minutes, yet it has its own government, its own postage stamps, and a history stretching back over seventeen hundred years. Even though many people there go through religious traditions, most have never had a chance to hear and truly understand the good news about Jesus.
