Arjan Hyka is a waiter at the London Restaurant where the Tirana missionaries and campaigners eat lunch together each day during the summer. He is also our brother-in-Christ.
After studying with Ellen Walker for several months, Arjan was baptized into Christ on July 9, 2001. It was a day I will never forget. Arjan’s wife, Aida, and their daughter, Kamila, were there for the baptism even though Aida was a Muslim who vowed she would never change her religion.
Since that day, Aida has been attending church services with Arjan and has been reading Bible stories to Kamila. Her exposure to the Word of God has changed her heart. Now, Aida is one of Ellen’s students.
Listen to what Ellen has to say about Arjan in her April newsletter: “Arjan Hyka may have shined more brightly than anyone else this month as he brought his wife, Aida, and his good friend, Erion, and the daughter of a colleague to study with me. Also, he brought his boss, Ylli, and his wife Merita to study with Rosalie. The connection with Ylli and Merita led to Merita’s cousin and her husband coming to study with Rosalie as well. That’s seven contacts through one person [Arjan] this month.
