Albania

Pray for the elders of the churches supported by Medical Ambassadors Foundation. May they grow in faith, remain steadfast in their service, and lead by example. Also, lift up the women being mentored for leadership roles, especially as they lead women's groups during Shelly's absence. Pray for the situation with the mosque in Vashtemi, that it does not continue to exert negative influence over the community and that people may find harmony and understanding.

Praise God for Medical Ambassadors Foundation’s autumn activity, where children from the villages they work in enjoyed songs, Bible memory verses, games and face painting in a local forest. It was a great time for all! Medical Ambassadors Foundation would love us to pray for God to provide funding for their Puppet Project - they would like to buy some large puppets and refurbish the puppet theatre used in their children’s ministry.

Pray for discernment, wisdom and guidance from the Holy Spirit as church elders in Albania select pastors, leaders, and ministry teams. Praise God for the provision of unexpected funds, filling the summer camp sponsorship shortfall at Medical Ambassadors Foundation in Albania. Pray for the Lord's provision of a building in Klocë, Albania, for the local church in that village. May God open doors and make a way for their gathering place.

Praise God for providing all the funds needed for Medical Ambassadors Foundation to complete the church building in Vloçisht, Albania. Pray for the children and youth that are in contact with them. Pray that there will be more job opportunities for the youth, and for the pressure from the Muslim community to ease, which has prevented children from coming to church.

Pray for women in Bathore, a disadvantaged suburb of Tirana, in a highly patriarchal society where domestic violence is common, and children are regularly beaten. Pray for a women’s support group run by Global Care’s partners, which offers women peer support and parenting support, challenging attitudes to violence and sharing the love of Jesus.
