We had another wonderful short-term mission campaign in Tirana this summer. Eighteen WEI teachers taught eighty students during a period of eight weeks. Unfortunately, we were not able to teach everyone who wanted to study with us. There are still more than 100 people on the waiting list.
Art Hitt has been one of the most faithful and productive WEI teachers. This summer, two of his students were baptized. Art writes, “Yesterday was a wonderful Lord’s Day. Two of my students were baptized into Christ. One was Jonida (25), and the other was her cousin, Altin, the husband of Gelina with whom I studied 18 years ago.” Now, her husband and his cousin are Christians.
In the picture below, Art hugs his new brother and sister in Christ. From left to right: Gelina and Altin and their little daughter, Emi. Jonida is standing on Art’s left. “Love can build a bridge.”
