Church planting and Alpha in Albania

Please remember in prayer our partners Hervin Fushekati and Elton Dautaj in Albania. Hervin is pastor of a church in Tirana which has planted out a number of churches. Elton leads one of the church plants. Please pray for them as they serve God in difficult circumstances. There is much poverty and corruption in Albania.

Elton has requested prayer for the Alpha courses he runs. Due to difficulties experienced in the past, before his time, Alpha has not always had a good name and Elton is trying to change this. There are currently five people doing an Alpha course, three from an Orthodox background, two from a Muslim background. Pray that they may be open to learning about and experiencing God through the Alpha teaching.

Elton is using Alpha as part of a theological training course he runs and hopes that students will go on to run an Alpha course in their own church.

Please pray for all of these initiatives and for encouragement and wisdom for Hervin and Elton.
