From World War Two until 1991, Albania was an isolationist and communist state. Soon after the establishment of the democratic Republic of Albania, BMS World Mission began working in the country. Fast-forward three decades, and BMS’ formal partnerships in Albania are due to finish at the end of this year.

MONDAY 23
Pray for the people and churches of the Albanian Baptist Union (ABU), with whom BMS has partnered in supporting local pastors, food banks, youth camps and administration. Pray that the Union will continue to find sustainable ways to grow, plant churches and share the good news.
