Virgil and Jackie Jackson report that two young women have been baptized in Vlorë: Yllka Cela and Sonila Berdo.
Yllka, a schoolteacher in her early thirties, “comes from a strongly Muslim background. Many like her have a long and difficult journey to come to faith in Jesus Christ
“On the same afternoon, Sonila Berdo was baptized into Christ. Sonila, a 23-year-old college graduate, has been studying with us for several months. We were amazed at her Bible knowledge—the result of ten years of personal Bible reading. It was thrilling to learn that Sonila began her daily reading and prayer as the result of a study she had with Sherry Reeves in our initial summer effort in 1993!”
