Rome with Purpose is a study abroad program that is designed to offer Christian college students the opportunity to “Experience Italy in Christian community”. While living together in a convent near the center of Rome, Italy, students have opportunity to engage in a rigorous and stimulating academic program, explore the antiquities of Rome, experience current Italian culture, and get involved in ministry opportunities with local churches. Rome with Purpose professors all teach from a Christian worldview and the director and his wife are on-site to guide and mentor the students as they follow Jesus through this intercultural experience. Students can earn 15 credits during their 90-day stay, with three weeks available for independent travel throughout Europe. TFC is a supporting institution, and its students are automatically eligible to attend.
