As a couple we are very thankful to our Lord Jesus Christ to have given us a heart and burden to reach the unreached children of Albania with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We praise the Lord for providing for our needs as we continue to serve Him.
Serving with Child Evangelism Fellowship gives us great joy and it is a great opportunity to share the Gospel with children. Great opportunities often come with great responsibilities. To be even more effective in ministry one of the things we pray for is a ministry car.
Why do we need a ministry car?
One of the things we have to do is to travel to train teachers in local churches around Albania through different seminars. Starting with “Child Protection Policies” seminars, “Why Evangelize children” and many more types of seminars are always required by local churches as they see CEF seminars refreshing and moving to their churches.
Promoting the literature is another thing that makes us need to travel around the country. Churches and different partners are always looking forward to new CEF materials, especially those of special events. They always expect us to go in their city or town and show what’s new.
Good News Clubs, Summer Camps and Christmas Party Clubs projects are other ministries that require a car that would support the ministry. For summer camps we have to travel from Tirana to Durrës where CEF camps are held. Christmas Party Clubs season is one of the seasons that we need to be more on the road than at home. We go train churches on how to develop a CPC, train their volunteers, and help them turn their CPCs to regular Good News Clubs. This requires us to go all around the country in a matter of 6- 8 weeks. There are some very good paved roads, but going to some villages in the winter may seem like “mission impossible” because the infrastructure would be in a terrible shape. Going to our Good News Clubs around the city may be a real struggle sometimes. There are places where there is no public transportation and makes us depended on others to go for the meeting.
Building relationships by preaching and visiting local churches. In Albania we really value relationships and time we spend with each other. If we are to create partnerships that will last for ministry, we need to go and visit churches. Alesio is now often required to go and preach in different churches around the country. This is a great opportunity to develop partnerships that have impact for the kingdom of God here in Albania.
The board of Child Evangelism Fellowship has approved the need and the opening of the project with Єuro 15000 ($16179).
We praise the Lord that a friend already donated $5000 (Єuro 4635) towards this project. We still need to raise $ 11179 (Єuro 10365).
Would you pray and consider on giving towards this project? We invite you to help us in this need and to pray that God will provide 100% of what is needed. As you read this, if God is challenging you to be part of this project and support financially, please give online on this site, or contact us directly. Thank you!
God bless you!
For the children and the church in Albania,
