Albania

Mission work
ECM has Missionaries and Partners in Mission working in Tirana and Lushnje.

ECM longs for...
the churches to keep on growing, and that through their words and actions they will introduce the Gospel to Albanians - so that Albania will be filled with hope.

Through listening to programs transmitted by Trans World Radio in the 1960s, several Christian groups emerged in the atheistic country of Albania. After 1991 these groups founded churches, called Rruga e Pages (Way of Peace), in the capital Tirana, and in Lushnje, Fier and Patos. The churches in Tirana and Lushnje now have national leaders and the churches in Fier and Patos have are overseen by other missionaries.

ECM missionaries are involved in Albania with a variety of church planting initiatives in both Tirana, and the Lushnje region. Besides these long-term missionaries, groups and individuals travel regularly to Albania to take part in projects: evangelism, children's camps, building projects, language courses, aid to the poor and many other activities.

The fruit of the church in Albania is really encouraging and despite the poverty, local churches are actively involved in evangelism and church planting.
