Good Report from Albania ...
Dear Friends,
Tomorrow we get on a "jet plane" and leave for a three month home assignment in CA & OR. These two great years of seeing Albania become a sending nation have brought great blessing and joy to us. Though Albania is less than 1% evangelical it is sending out three trained teams of ten each to do a Caleb Project in a neighboring nation. The results along with a CO based group will help mobilize people around the world to pray and go to this very needy country (MAC). Many churches have been trained through Perspective type materials called Kairos. Kairos is actually a condensed Perspectives course. Out of their poverty they are giving and waiting on God to supply all of their needs to go to places that still have never heard the Gospel - to least reached places particularly in the M~~lim world. A twenty-four prayer chain is in place to pray for the Caleb Project over the next five months. Isn't this amazing?
We look forward to sharing with you in person the wonderful things that God is doing in this small country. We will be living in Pasadena and traveling within CA in June & July. After Lydia's wedding on August 4th, we plan to be up in OR around Aug. 8th for ten days. Should you want to get together drop us an e-mail. We should be back in e-mail contact by Sunday. Thanks for your great participation in our lives that allows us to partner with the Albanian church!
Wonderful Praises to the God who can Do The IMPOSSIBLE!!!
1. Yesterday, we finished our first school year of preparing seven students for cross-cultural service. What a year!
2. The students went through a thorough interview process this last week by our five pastors. Larry says, that they were recommended for the two month Caleb project with flying colors. They are released to work on support discovery.
3. Pirro and Liliana have been recommended to long term cross-cultural service.
4. Our church in Korça has committed 10% of their budget to cross-cultural service.
5. Last Sunday, the pastors commissioned with laying on of hands, Dori & Sabina to lead up a CCC university team in a strong M~~lim neighboring country.
6. This Sunday, Dr. Patriot also will be commissioned by our church to go for the next two months to Cebu, Philippines for a community health development experience with Medical Ambassadors.
7. Each worker has five Korça believers committed to pray for them while in cross-cultural service.
8. Fifty-two youth are volunteering to serve 5 full days a week in outreach and discipleship this summer in the Korcha area.
Joyfully,
Dana and Larry Stucky
