We will be partnering with Albania Cru’s (Campus Crusade) ministry to University and High School students in Shkoder, Albania through a one-week English experience. This is in partnership with our

Albanian missionaries, Kujtim & Marjana Haxhia and Ylli & Nikki Doci. Albania is located directly across from Italy and just above Greece. So, there is an abundance of fresh food with a Greek and Italian i influence. Many Albanians gladly welcome Americans with their interest in American culture and desire to speak English.

The first couple of days will be filled with a city outreach including games, sports day, cultural nights, and coffees. This will lead up to a weekend camp getaway called the ‘Lighthouse’ off the coast of Albania – days filled with sharing gospel stories, our story, and hanging out on the beach, and nights filled with games and cultural parties. The majority of these students come from a cultural Muslim or Catholic background and through the camp, around 10-12 students give their lives to Jesus. God is moving and we have the privilege of being part of it!
