Easter Greetings

Easter blessings to you. Melanie and I traveled to Gjakove today to worship with several churches from all over Kosova. We gathered together, 500 strong, and sang praises to Jesus our Lord and Savior. We both were moved by a crucifixion drama accompanied by a beautifully sung solo. The sermon was in Albanian, so we pieced together what we could with our Bibles and spiritual intuition. Jezusi tha: “Une Jam Ringjallja dhe Jeta.”

Visitors '09

We received our first visitors of the year. It is a blessing to share our endeavors with friends from the states, especially two friends from our home church, Lakeside Christian. Ken and Wrenda spent six days in our tiny country. They were able to spend time in Orllan, Prishtina and Prizren…a nice mix of village, modern and historical. They saw the work of several missionaries, namely those from comeNserve, Team Expansion and American Schools International. Their short week included witnessing a baptism after Sunday worship, lunch with our high school students, bible study with our staff, a few new dishes and lots of new experiences. Ken and Wrenda, we appreciate you taking the time to visit and encourage us smack dab in our living room. God bless you both.
