Take a look at the beautiful building God has provided for the church in Tirana, Albania.
Look at it carefully. Part of the building is painted blood red, depicting the blood of Christ. The chairs in the auditorium and in the class rooms are red for the same reason.
Architect Flori Pollo, whom I had the privilege of baptizing in 1998, did a marvelous job designing the building, along with his mother. But the building is not quite complete.
Notice that there is no sign anywhere. There is nothing to identify the building with the Church of Christ or with World English Institute. Plans called for a nice sign costing $3,500, but there was not enough money. In fact, $19,710 is still owed for construction and furnishings.
Let’s help the church in Tirana reach out to the community more effectively by putting up a sign.
