Praise Report from Albania

Gary Cox has now returned from his visit to Albania, where he took part in a national Alpha training conference. The conference was very well received, and in addition to this, books have been produced in Albanian - "A Life Worth Living". This is an Alpha follow-up course for discipleship, and apparently multiple copies of this were snapped up by many attendees of the conference.

Let's pray that they will be used to full effect and that disciples, not only converts, will be made in Albania.

Alpha in Novi Sad, Serbia

We thank God for a new opportunity He is giving us to start Alpha this week. One in our main church in Novi Sad (Wednesdays), and one in our church plant at the other part of the city(Thursdays). We are very pleasantly surprised how many people have already indicated that they will come! Please pray for all that will come that they will understand and respond to the Gospel. Also pray for all of us that are involved, as it is a lot of work and responsibilities.
In Him, Vera and Danny Kuranji

Alpha Conference in Bosnia

Please continue to pray for the church in Sarajevo, Bosnia (see March entry).
An Alpha Training Conference previously planned for the end of April has been delayed to allow for the problems to resolve.
The conference will now take place on the 1st and 2nd June this year - please pray for those in Sarajevo planning this as they cope with other stresses; and pray for strength and encouragement for the church at this difficult time.
