John & Janelle Groos
Pioneers in Bologna, Italy
John and Janelle are musicians who moved to Germany in 1994 to pursue careers in music and ministry. Over the past 31 years in Europe, their love for the people, culture, and land has continued to grow deeply. For the last 11 years, they have faithfully served at Every Nation Innsbruck, pouring their hearts into ministry by walking alongside others in faith while continuing to grow in their own relationship with Christ.
Now, God is leading them into a new season of outreach and mission in Bologna, with the prayer that this work will one day lead to a future Every Nation church plant. Their vision is to see lives changed through Christ, families restored, and communities transformed by the Gospel. Through their background in theater and opera, they hope to build meaningful connections with the people of Bologna and bring the hope of Jesus to the city — one relationship at a time.
