IS THE WINNER
This is true, dear brothers, and even lately the Lord is
confirming his Majesty and His victory over Satan and his followers.
As a matter of fact, as we are obstacle
from one hand in our work by the Moslems that want us out of
the villages, and from the other hand the Lord is opening to
us other doors. So we want to inform you the starting of a new
group in a village named Çerrave. For several months we were
praying till we met a young couple , Donika and Ilir, who love
the Lord and who have opened their home . In a little time there
were others added to them . They are now about fifteen brothers
that come to the meeting, almost all of them young. Nine of
them were baptised on June 27. We like to ask you to remember
them in your prayers. Pray that they may overcome their shyness
and may be witnesses in their village. Above of all, we want
to remind you to pray for this couple, because they are facing
a period of trial. Actually Donika has recently lost her father
and Ilir has had different accidents at his work as a blacksmith.
Let us pray that the Lord may comfort and strengthen them and
make a serving couple of them,; a couple that can be a referring
point in the village of Çerrave.
In the other villages of Stropckë and Bratomire the things
are going well, too. We are having new contacts and the community
with our brothers is getting always better, even because we
are getting more into the language.
The only regret we have is from the village of Blacë. The
work in the fields is occupying our brothers a lot and they
are going through a period of spiritual
and physical weariness. The children's meeting is suspended,
because even they are busy in the fields or taking the cattle
out to the pastures. We already know that the church is praying
a lot and that many donations are given for the work in Albania.
We want to thank you for all what you are doing and we want
to encourage to continue like this because we are feeling a
time of harvest in which the Lord is building His church in
Albania and He was pleased to include even all of us in this
work.
GLORY BE TO THE LORD !
We greet you and embrace you all warmly,
