On August 17th, Alfred Zike had the privilege of baptizing Doriana Deliaj, the daughter of two of his old friends at the University. Doriana was a WEI student who had been studying with Lyn Hunt.
On August 27, Alfred baptized his son, Aldi. Alfred says, “Our family rejoices abundantly with the decision that our son, Aldi, made to follow Christ. We are so thankful to the Lord because our constant prayers about our kids are getting positive answers. Words cannot explain our thankfulness and happiness on this occasion. Praise Him!”
“I would like to tell a true story about Aldi. Aldi was only 5 years old, while we were two years old in Christ. He was going to kindergarten in Tirana. There, he and the other kids were asked to tell in class new stories they had learned on Saturday or Sunday. Every Monday, Aldi told Bible stories to his teacher and friends or sang to them children hymns that he had learned at Children’s Bible Class.
“This moved his teacher to approach us one day and ask us about the church we were part of. While talking with her about the church and our belief, she asked us if she and her daughter might come to the church services and if her daughter could be enrolled in WEI courses. Now, her daughter is one of the faithful members of the Tirana church.”
