the last days we have experienced important moments for the work in Albania.

We are happy to announce that, today on November the 12th, we have signed the act of purchase of the land in Stropcka. Finally, after a long period of expectance, we can say that the first step was taken. The next step is that of defining the project of construction (partly already done by the NEHEMIA Foundation), and after that we have to introduce the request for the building license to the relevant Commune.

Just a little reminder for you. We want to build a mini-center, that will not only have the church building, but also other multi functional premises : a day care center for the children of the village , an ambulance, for the volunteer guest doctors to visit the sick people, as well a hall, to give the agricultural assocciations as well as other such associations to make their seminars in there.

Remaining still on the village Stropcke, we have to say that we are very sad of how the things went on with the French project of the Foundation "Le coup de cour". We have asked the owners of the warehouse there to get their ownership papers in order. They told us that, this process might require a long time, may be one or two years. However, the owners sold the warehouse to other people in the mean time, without the right papers.

On the first Sunday of November we have had the missionary service. Inspired from the last trip of Elia and others to Africa, we focused our  service on the work of Apostolic church on that continent.  Listening to the dificculities of our brothers, especially that of the ministers, we gathered 120€ as a personal and church offering. We are very happy from this answer of the church in Albania, that despite of their own need, still gave for the need of the other people.

Sandro and Ardi will be in Italy for about 10 days to take part on the leaders conference in Puglia. They will have the chance and joy to visit the churches of that district.

The last interesting news is that of the new grafic design of the web site of the mission. We would like to take the chance to invite you to visit it and to send us your feedback for its improvement. You will find there the updated finances for the mission, projects, new pictures and more.

We would invite you to pray for:

the building licence for the mini-center in Stropcka
• the spiritual growth and unity for the co-workers
• the brethern who have left the country to work abroad

"Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.(Psalm 127:1)"

Greetings from the Albanian brethern
