In her May newsletter, Ellen Walker reported that Carl Mitchell had conducted an outstanding four night seminar in Tirana. An average of sixty people attended the evening sessions, about thirteen of whom had never been to any church activities before.
Carl’s seminar was followed by the Annual National Youth Day. An estimated 200 young people attended. Bubba Cook spoke three times at the Youth Day and also preached for the church on Sunday. Bubba and Lavinia Cook are missionaries in Bucharest, Romania.
Ellen concluded her report by saying, “You’ll want to know about the addition of two new souls to the Lord. On April 17th, after the Youth Day, Bledi’s student, Valbona Laçi, put on her Lord in baptism. And on April 22nd, my student Ermal’s sins were washed away in the blood of the Lamb. Ermal Musabelli is a quiet young man who started dating one of our Christian young ladies about a year ago.
“Praise God for the way he works things out!”
