Ellen Walker (missionary in Tirana) has been teaching WEI students year around for many years, and God has blessed her with success. Two of her students were baptized in July.
Ellen writes, “I’m the last in a long line of teachers who have taught Alfred [Nini]. . . . This last Sunday, Alfred went forward to receive his baptismal certificate. . . Alfred’s wife, Vasilka, is studying with Sadete. His daughter has studied with campaigners for several summers, and I believe that soon they will follow Alfred’s example to put on Christ.”
Pictured below are Sokol Haxhiu who baptized Alfred, Sadete Hoxha (WEI secretary), Vasilka and Alfred Nini, and Ellen Walker.
Ellen also writes, “”Today, we went to the beach for the best reason in the world—to baptize my student Angjelin Toma. . . . He made his final decision and asked Erik Qirjaqi to do the honors. When I talked to him on Thursday, he said, ‘I can hardly wait to have the Holy Spirit inside of me.’ He said, “My old life, and not being strong, is what has been holding me back.’ We rejoice in Angjelin’s decision to commit his ways to the Lord! It was a beautiful day at the beach.”
