Our Mission
By enabling and resourcing Jesus families in our movement and sister networks, we are birthing the Kingdom of God into Albania and sending pioneering leaders into other Muslim nations with no Gospel movements.
Why This Need
Thriving worship, evangelism, training and sending will be strengthened in this building. In a nation filled with mosques in every city, town and most villages, Albanian culture feels that a religious movement must have its own building to be legitimate. Besides empowering young disciples, this center by a major artery into the capital city will immediately grant legitimacy in the eyes of the general population, especially pre-believers that Jesus is calling to Himself.
The Disciples of Jesus movement is Albanian led, yet the average wage in Tirana is around $600/month, so it is implausible for the local church to fully finance construction for its own ministry center. For 32 years this mother church and the broader DoJ movement have rented all of their meeting and office facilities. This center will not only enable church activities, but is also resources needed to catalyze a broader depth of outreach in society and sending to other nations.
Why Worship & Ministry Center
Past stories of revival, wars, challenges and heaven's grace abound. But the stories we anticipate most are in the future. We believe the waves of Christian growth have only begun in Albania, and we're excited to see what Jesus will do through upcoming generations, especially this one! Our heart is to cultivate healthy leaders and families, who will follow the Lord's calling in teams to birth God's Kingdom in Albanian society and surrounding nations. We see this Worship & Ministry Center as a kind of "maternity" for birthing, raising and sending out pioneering Christian leaders.
Helping Albanians and nearby nations know Christ's love.
