Matthew 28:18-20
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to
me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
NIV
John 20:10-16
10 Then the disciples went back to their homes, 11 but Mary stood outside
the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and
saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the
head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, "Woman, why are you crying?"
"They have taken my Lord away," she said, "and I don't know where they
have put him." 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,
but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 "Woman," he said, "why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?"
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him
away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him."
16 Jesus said to her, "Mary."
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means
Teacher).
NIV

The
church in Fier is the result of the gospel preached by Virgil and Jackie
Jackson, missionaries in Vlorë for many years. While Vlorë is the home of
the Jacksons, they conducted worship assemblies in Fier as well as in
Vlorë. Doug Smith, having established the church in Prizren, Kosova,
assisted Virgil for a short period. With Doug's leadership the church
continued to make good progress. Helping Doug for a period was Bujar, his
translator from Prizren, Kosova. He taught his own students and preached
in Albanian.
Brent Parr, a young man from Marrietta, Oklahoma, followed Doug and worked
in Fier for 2 year
Steve and Ruth Byrne followed Brent Parr, Steve & Ruth served as
missionaries in Fier for 3 years since 2006-2009. Good Works came as the
result of their serving. Steve worked in many ways that one day Church of
Christ in Fier might have Albanian Preacher. Including that many have
prayed that God will bring Albanian People. to serve here in Fier.
International Bible Institute in Albania
(IBIA) began classes January 23, 2006, and the whole idea of the school was
to train men for the Church of Christ here in Albania to be capable and
ready to stand on the gap. Altin Koci & Eduart Hoxha were students of the
School also that were able to go through the classes that IBIA has
provided. |

We Preach Jesus Christ and Him Crucified!
Coming to know Christ and having a personal relationship with Him, it
means that we are under oath, that our life should reflect Him alone. And
it’s our obligation to share the “Good News” to all the world.
Community Ministry!
Isn’t encouraging when you are being called by people asking your help
especially from people that you are trying to build redemptive
relationships? I was called by the Director of Elderly home, asking for my
assistance, for helping to make a PowerPoint presentation and helping with
the Projector, for a lady celebrates her 100th birthday! Also several
times I have being invited as representative of “Church Of Christ” on
other activities that elderly home have had. Also we have been involved
for almost 2 years with blind people’s organization, it’s a little harder
to get and meet blind people often as the other people. But trying to the
best we can to help this group of people too.
We have been trying as body of Christ that monthly to gather a package of
food supply and then we choose a family that it’s really in need for food,
and we goo and visit them with this package of food by doing so we are
trying to soften a little bit the difficulties of their life.
Children Ministry
Above all it is has been a blessing to have a children ministry, even
though it’s has been difficult having a definite day and time to come
together but we try to come together as more as often kids can. Sometimes
has been we have done 2-times in week with kids and sometimes once. But
its good experience when kids ask when will have classes for next time.
Fellowshipping with one another it’s crucial for the Body of Christ.
Getting to know one another better and starting to trust one another more
than before. Being able to have such activities has started to have its
own fruits. 20th Anniversary for the Church of Christ in Vlora. It was a
great opportunity for all the members to come together and travel
together. Also a great opportunity to meet other Christians. Being able to
join and celebrate with Church of Christ in Vlora, was a blessing and
encouraging seeing how all brothers and sisters started and continue to
stay in faith despite difficulties of life.
Retreating (Churches, Fier, Vlora, Lushnje)
We have been blessed being able to find a good place to meet all together.
Our goal for this retreat was to help one another. Growing in; 1) Love for
God, 2) Love for One Another, 3) Love for the Lost.
Edi shared the lesson on “Love for God”, Tom shared the lesson on “Love
for one another”, and Altin shared the lesson on “Love for the Lost”. We
thought these three topics will challenge and remember us to whom we
belong? And what is the purpose of our life. It was a great experience and
blessing being able to spent time with one another and sharing a meal
together.

Lives.

please pray that everyone keep calm and nobody gets hurt.
In His Service,
