oh wow!! With family (and ties) in Greece I'd wondered about Albania over the years, the small obscure balkan country right next door, yet suffering from totalitarian dictatorship from 1945 until recently

Being here it's quite remarkable to think it was an isolated, communist nation just over three decades ago. One is reminded constantly that humans yearn to be free and Albanians have fully embraced the opportunity to live their lives as free people. It's wonderful to see. We very much look forward to future visits to this lovely little country.

Dear Friends

Dave and I will be praying for you during your travels and for the work that you are doing in Albania. I spent several years of my youth working with Albanian refugees. It was a great blessing in my life.

Peace and joy,

Diana

It's truly amazing to be on the first of what we hope will be many mission trips. What a wonderful way to serve others and to draw closer to our church. Thank you!
