JESUS 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 Girls in Cerraveobstacle 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 spiritualBlace 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,

Sandro, Luciana Carlo Ester
