Vite Trasformate
Many thousands of women are on the sidewalks in Italy every single night. Most of them are victims of human trafficking and exploitation, and they are all without hope. Our primary objective is to see their lives transformed by Jesus Christ to the glory of God. The ministry of Vite Trasformate seeks to meet the physical, relational and emotional needs of the women through practical help, friendship building, and networking with social services to provide exit strategies. All this is under the leadership and partnership of the local churches and our greatest desire is to meet their spiritual needs and lead them into loving arms of God our Savior.
Vite Trasformate is a ministry of Nuova Vita church.
