Moriarty Missions in Europe
Hi,
We are John & Rachael Moriarty. We would like to introduce ourselves. We are retired military. John worked with the US Navy as a musician for 20 years and retired May 2024. We were stationed in Italy for 5 years from 2014-2019. The last two years we were there, we helped plant a church called, Celebration Italia. In addition to Celebration Italia, we helped establish a homeschool community there called Classical Conversations of Naples.
We have six children, five girls and one boy. Our four youngest children, Nathanael, Lauretta, Miriam, and Tirzah, accompanied us back to Italy. Our oldest daughter, Sara, works in WA in ministry at the church we helped plant called Empowered Foursquare Church. Our second oldest daughter, Maggie, is going to college in CA at Life Pacific University. We returned to Italy March 26th, 2025, as a tentmaker missionaries. We secured our Italian visa because we launched an online education business, called Classical Tools 4 Change LLC and are working to grow the business & its resources while working as missionaries. There are three main purposes of why we are returning to Italy: to plant a prayer team in Europe, to support the current work and our friends in antihuman trafficking, and to serve the US military presence in Naples while living life.
Our first purpose of returning is to plant a ministry prayer team through Freedom Encounters, that aids in the deliverance and inner healing of the people there in Italy and in Europe. We have partnered with this ministry for over 5 years now and are excited to introduce the tools and support needed for all people to engage in spiritual warfare, walk in healing, and grow in intimacy & identity of the Father.
Our second purpose is to aid and support the current work combating human trafficking in Italy that is already taking place. Our primary focus is to continue our support of the work of Joyce and Herb Zick, who have been serving on site as missionaries for over 7 years. They run an outreach ministry called Ogni Nuova Cosa, a street ministry to aid trafficked women in the Caserta area, and the Alba Run for Recovery, which is a yearly fundraiser for the Alba Safe House, a long-term recovery home for the women who are able to get out of the network. We love them dearly and want to support them in whatever way that God leads while living here in Italy.
Our final purpose is to the US American military while we live life and meet the needs of our family. We serve PWOC ( Protestant Women of the Chapel), Bethel Worship Center (a MTTM European location), our third church plant alongside Jack and Pat Brundage, and Classical Conversations of Naples, in addition to any other community that the Lord opens up to us. We see life and everything we do as ministry and we are honored to serve and support the families stationed here, which are apart of our local community.
We thank you in advance for considering how you can support us! First, please pray for us and Italy. She desperately needs a revival. Also, please consider supporting us financially. You can donate here for a tax free donation to our partnering church, Omni Fellowship in Texas.
