Donovan and Caryn Libring have three children and have served as missionaries in Europe since 1996 (Spain, France, and Italy). They’ve been serving faithfully in Montebelluna, Italy since 2011 under Pastor Craig until he went to be with Jesus in 2023. With his passing, their roles and responsibilities increased significantly. Donovan is part of the leadership team, assisting Pastor Tyler Johnson with church business and ministry. His main roles at Calvary Chapel Montebelluna include supporting the pastor, bible teaching, translation and interpretation, administration, and worship. He also assists with the paperwork and processes for the Calvary Chapel ministries all over Italy as new churches are being established. He works on translation projects to put books and printed materials into the hands and homes of Italian believers as well.

Caryn and Donovan also serve at the bible college campus, which has trained up people to serve in Italy and all over the world. Caryn served as the registrar for the school, but is currently focused on community outreach, entering public school classes to share the gospel and teaching about what biblical Christianity is. She also teaches Sunday school, VBS English Camp, and coordinates the Sunday school curriculum translation project. She is passionate about reaching the little ones for Jesus. Together they use their gifts of hospitality to host staff meetings, visiting pastors and missionaries. Donovan also teaches a monthly bible study in their home.

It is their privilege to be a part of what God is doing in Italy, where approximately 1% are born again and only 0.4% in the region of Veneto (northeast). CC Montebelluna has been a sending church and a strategic training ground for people with a heart for Italy. They are looking for like-minded believers and churches to invest in the incredible work that God is doing in Italy and Europe.

Prayer Request: Pray for the Lord to send them people with open hearts to hear the gospel and guide them to those who are seeking the truth. Pray the Holy Spirit would fill them to faithfully preach the gospel to all persons in season and out. Pray for their marriage, raising their kids to know Jesus, for their light to shine bright, their witness to be steadfast in the community, and a continual filling of the Holy Spirit to accomplish their mission.
