It was good to catch up a few weeks ago with Sali Rahmani, the radio presenter whom Berti Dosti listened to in secret while he was a captain in Enver Hoxha’s army.
As well as acting as interpreter for Berti at the Keswick Convention Sali (pictured below) is still very involved in work in Albania, even though he now lives in Northamptonshire.
In his latest newsletter he writes about three exciting aspects of his ministry.
Firstly, he says he is still keeps in touch with some of the Albanians who listened to the same Way of Peace programme as Berti did.
Sali translated and broadcast gospel programmes while he was with the European Christian Mission based in England and then Austria for more than 28 years. These were then beamed into Albania through Trans World Radio in Monte Carlo.
He added: “It is a joy to hear that these Albanians continue to love the Lord their Saviour and that they are active in their home towns.”
Secondly, Sali mentioned that he had been working hard to arrange for Gospel meetings in the London area for Albanians living and working in England.
His prayers have been answered; they had their first service at Pastor Mark Jackson’s church at Monnow Road Baptist Church in Bermondsey. Now they are planning another one in North London and they are hoping these will become regular meetings.
Finally, Sali has been busy helping produce for Manna Publications Bible study booklets, which have been widely used by churches in Albania, Kosova and other parts of Europe.
Sali, who is involved with the final proof reading and corrections, has just had the first study Bible booklet on Genesis printed. Now he is involved in the second part of Genesis for which he is also doing the translation.
He is hoping to finish this next month when he plans to go to Albania to let another person check the accuracy of his work.
