Busy time for Berti after Keswick

Berti Dosti reports he has certainly had a busy few weeks since returning to his Way of Peace church in Lushnje after speaking at the Keswick Convention last month.

A group of 12 energetic South Koreans (pictured below) from the SaRang Community Church in Seoul spent four hectic days in the Albanian church working with children, sharing their testimonies at a men’s meeting, encouraging a women’s prayer meeting in Bitaj, giving a demonstration of Tae Kwon Do in the local gym, and teaching two women's groups how to cook Korean style.  


Also last month a team of 13 from Belgium arrived in Albania to help the church by working in the mornings in the village of Gramsh, and in the afternoons in Lushnje.

Some of the team braved the hot sun and temperatures in the high 30s to turn a patch of bare ground at the Gramsh school into a basketball court, while the rest of the team visited more than 30 homes by invitation to encourage new believers, to share the gospel and to give their testimonies.

Then this month a team from Ireland and Scotland ran another successful week-long programme for special needs children at the Lushnje church. Now they have returned to the UK a group from the church are going to carry on meeting with the families and their children every week.

Finally, two expert teachers have also visited the Victory School in Lushnje over the summer. Despite temperatures in the high 30s Joanna taught three English classes each morning, and then another two in the late afternoon.

Joan spent two separate weeks last month teaching the piano and guitar to Albanian children.

She plans to return to Albania in October and then again next Easter to continue teaching the new musicians and the new church worship group.
