Tom Bonner, missionary in Lushnja, Albania, reports three WEI students have been born again in Lushnja: one girl, Luiza Kiptiu, and two boys, Egi Dhana and Franko Janku.
In the picture below, Luiza was the first person of any age or gender to use the new portable baptistery the Saturn Road church in Garland, Texas contributed to the work of the Lord in Lushnja.
Tom says, “Luiza Kiptiu became involved as a WEI student with us three years ago this past February, and she has been active in the services of the youth group. She has been regular in attendance to the worship services, as well. Her life story is one filled with difficulties and challenges, but she seems to genuinely love the Lord. She is fifteen years old, and we look for many years of fellowship and service together with her.
“Yes, we have two new brothers. … They have both been involved with us for three years or more, first as students of English/Bible, then as regular attenders. They are in their early teens, so the road will become difficult before long, in attempting to maintain the adherence to their commitments. Olti has been largely responsible of late for studying with them. …
“Both sets of parents have expressed appreciation regarding the positive influence they can easily see the church having had in the lives of their children.”
Please pray for Tom and Olti as they nurture these three new babes in Christ and lead them toward spiritual maturity.
