The following report from Virgil Jackson in Vlorë Albania reminds us that God works in surprising ways.
“Seed planted unknowingly has produced fruit almost two years later. While working on the Ladies’ Day conference in 2000, Jackie invited Viola, and she came, along with her fellow schoolteacher, 28-year-old Aida Rushiti.
“Not until last fall were we able to begin a Bible study with Viola, Aida and another young schoolteacher. Soon, two of them became regular visitors at church. Last month, Viola and Aida announced their decision to become Christians.
“As we were discussing the development of their faith, I was surprised by Aida’s revelation that she had been reading the Bible for three years. But she had been confused until she attended the Ladies’ Day. ‘That day,’ she said, ‘I knew I had found the truth.’
“These ladies are of the generation that received intense Communist, atheistic training. They have come through a lot in their honest search for truth.”
