Albania

Pray for better job prospects for young people in Albania, so they remain rooted rather than emigrating. Please continue to pray that Medical Ambassadors Foundation would find a place in Kloce to hold weekly Bible meetings. Finally, praise God for the progress of Medical Ambassadors Foundation’s church planting teams, and pray that their ministry leads many in Albania to repentance and faith in the Good News.

Albania faces numerous challenges. With only 0.6% believers among 62% Muslims there are many open doors. The consequences of a 6.4 magnitude earthquake in 2019 and the Covid-19 pandemic have challenged Christian workers in Albania during the last few years. Pray for an abundance of peace in Albania.

Give thanks to God that a man called Fluturimi has recently started attending one of Medical Ambassadors Foundation’s men’s Bible studies in Albania. His wife Roza has been praying for him for many years. Medical Ambassadors Foundation would like us to pray that the mosque in Vashtemi wouldn’t continue to exert influence over the community. Pray for wisdom & grace for the church leaders.

Please pray for Albania. The ground is fertile for growing crops but the workers are few because many have emigrated, and the road infrastructure is very poor. New roads are sometimes left unfinished, which hinders transport and trade. Please pray for economic investment, for the roads to be finished to a decent standard and for workers to stay in the country to invest in the economy. Please pray also for more young Christian men to stay in the country and serve the churches and community.

Medical Ambassadors Foundation in Albania would like us to pray for the women who are being mentored for leadership roles in the women's ministry. Ask God to bless Medical Ambassadors Foundation with an increase in funding, enabling them to grow their ability to support communities and churches.

Medical Ambassadors Foundation in Albania have found another possible building for a church in Kloce. Pray that the Lord would confirm if this is the right place and provide all of the substantial funding needed. They would also like us to thank God with them that local believers have been able to distribute vegetable seeds to 500 farmers in five villages in Albania and share the Gospel with them.

Please pray for the church in Vashtemi, Albania - an imam is spreading rumours to local children that the church is deceiving them. May the church leaders respond with grace, truth and love. Please also pray for Medical Ambassadors Foundation who are finding it hard that many families are leaving Albania to find better jobs elsewhere. Ask that God would bring new people along to their churches.

Pray for wisdom & joy for the women who are being mentored for leadership roles in women’s ministry by Medical Ambassadors Foundation. Praise the Lord for the faith of Nori, an elder of the church in Vlocisht, Albania. He has been faithfully praying for his sick mother - she is now healed and is grateful for her son’s witness. Also, praise God for Vjollca and Verjon, a couple from Vloçisht, who are open to the Gospel.

Medical Ambassadors Foundation would like us to pray that the Lord would provide financial support for the new Community Health Evangelism training team in Korçë who are ready to serve. Also, pray for them as they host a seminar for teachers and caregivers of children with disabilities. Ask the Spirit to work in the hearts of those attending to be open to learn and change.

Please pray for Albania. There are few job opportunities for people, especially outside of Tirana, and many people choose to leave the country to find work. Pray especially that Christian men would stay in the country and share the gospel with other men.

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.

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.
