--Jessica Lazdins

--Lizanne Leach

--Jessica Rojas

--Kirsten Kavanagh

--Amanda Runyon

--Garvey Peterson

--Daniel Peters

We have been meeting and preparing since late October. Finally, we get to go. There is internet access in Tirana that is pretty good, so we expect to be able to write updates every other day or so. Thanks for your prayers for the following:

--safety in travel, health of the team, etc.

--good team relationships and working together, supporting each other

--building relationships with Albanians, encouraging them, finding out what God is doing

--eyes and heart opened to the kingdom of God unfolding in Albania, ways we can support and pray for it.

Thanks for all your support of this partnership. We're happy to say we're really close to our total financial goal of over $20,000. Only about 2-3k left to go. Thanks for your prayers, emotional support and financial gifts to make this partnership in Albania happen!

Stay tuned for more...

Jeff for the whole team
