Introduction

The collapse of the communist regime in 1991 brought numerous traumatic and rapid changes to Albania, leaving the people with an identity crisis. Hurt, angry and confused, they are still struggling to find their identity in a country that is considered to be Europe's poorest and least developed. As a result, some have migrated to other countries like North Macedonia.

Ministry Obstacles

Albanians have a spiritual worldview that is affected by superstition, Islam and atheism. It may be difficult for believers to connect with them, so believers need to learn the worldview of the people they are reaching before sharing the gospel.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray that Bibles would be effectively distributed throughout North Macedonia and have a strong spiritual impact on Albanians.
Pray that there would be a movement to Christ among the Albanians in North Macedonia.
Pray for the effectiveness of the JESUS Film in North Macedonia.
Ask the Lord to raise up a Bible believing local church network among Albanians in North Macedonia.
Pray for the few Albanian believers to be filled with the love and the power of the Holy Spirit, so they will be equipped to preach, teach and disciple Albanians to make more disciples.
