Christianity is quickly growing in the previously closed country of Albania. In a region that has a history of actively persecuting Christianity like Albania, the basic principles of Christianity are often unfamiliar to the people living there. In the face of such a strong atheist community, it is vital that churches are planted and the Gospel is spread.
God has blessed us over the past 75 years by the wonderful work He has and continues to accomplish through the ministry around the world. It is humbling to see Him use us and our partners to spread the Good News of Christ to those who have never heard about Him before. Many of our partners on the ground in Albania are actively looking to plant churches and make an impact for the Gospel, and we are thrilled to help facilitate that.
One pastor in the region has made it his mission to spread the Word of God and plant churches across Albania. Starting from a small group of interested people wanting to learn more about prayer and Christ in his home, this pastor has founded a church of over 40 people, the majority of whom are new believers who were previously either Muslim or atheist. This pastor continues to do his incredibly important work while partnering with The Tide® ministry to voice radio broadcasts that reach thousands more across the country.
We could not do what we do without the heart and vision of pastors like this on the ground. The heart of The Tide ministry is not only to share the Gospel over the radio but also to encourage and empower believers to go out into their communities and tell others what God has done for them. It is amazing when we hear from non-believers who report they have been uplifted or are now putting their faith in Christ after listening to a Tide partner pastor.
Thank you for your partnership through prayer and support. You are the reason The Tide is able to carry out this important mission, for which we are grateful.
