On March 1920, Bill Morgan led the fourth annual missionary conference in Tirana. Fifty-five people attended—including 26 American and British missionaries and 29 Albanian church leaders from Albania and Kosova. It was the largest gathering of its kind to date.
Alfred Zikë writes, “It was so great to hear about the Lord’s work in many cities and villages all over the country. As I was listening to the reports that missionaries brought, my memory went back to the hot summer of 1992. In that summer, on July 10th, started a big campaign of evangelizing Albania. On August 2nd, the first congregation was established in Tirana.
“I am a witness of that time. As many others, I started studying English as well as Bible each day from Monday till Friday. I am grateful to God for my first Bible teacher, Yvonne Davis, a precious lady, who planted the Word in my heart.
“I cannot forget, too, our special day on July 21st, 1993, Diana’s and my birthday in the Lord. “It passed 10 years, and the church in Albania grew amazingly through God’s blessings upon missionary efforts and WEI in Tirana, Vlorë, Orikum, Durrës, Elbasan, Fier, Korçë, Lushnja, Shkodër, and beyond Albanian borders in Prizren, Kosova.
“Praise the Lord! Praise His name!”
