What a tremendous blessing our ministry has received from the Lord since its very beginning. We are so grateful to our Father in heaven for making it happen and we'd like to thank all of you who have unceasingly remembered us in your prayers and thoughts. We couldn't have done it without your prayers and support. Now after eight years when the translation of the Albanian New Testament is completed and printed, we rejoice in the abundant blessings God poured upon our ministry.

The focus of our ministry has been:

A. The translation of the Albanian New Testament, its printing and distribution. In March 2000 we received the first copies of the Albanian New Testament, the very first traslation from koinè Greek in standard Albanian language. We have continuously printed parts of this translation. The book of John and Romans is printed three times and distributed in Albania and among the Albanians living overseas. Not long ago we printed another version of the book of John and the epistle to the Romans to be distributed in Kosovo and among the Kosovars all over the world.

B. Audio ministry is playing a major role in spreading the Gospel in Albania, considering that the majority of the population live in rural areas. Last year as the Albanian New Testament was being printed, we started the recording of the entire New Testament. The well-known actor Timo Flloko, identified as the best reader of Biblical text in Albania, was happy to come to San Diego and do the recording. Now the Albanian New Testament is available in audio version. We produced 1000 albums. Each album contains 12 cassettes.

In March 2000 we finished the recording of the book of John in Kosovo dialect. God miraculously provided a team of Kosovars who at the moment live in San Diego, Bali and Vehbi. They were brought to United States in the beginning of this year from the refugee camps in Macedonia. So Kosovars now have the book of John in their own dialect.
