The gospel has come to
this land after more than 500 years. Once being Christian country, led by God
now a country of 95 % Muslims and very few Christians.
We believe that God is
not finished with our country yet, because the Bible says: His mercy endures
forever.
We say and believe that
His Mercy endures forever more and more because it has been over 15 years that the gospel has
come back again in our land and people are saved.
After the war in 1999 doors opened for
missionaries to come to Kosova. Missionaries to our town first came from Switzerland
and then from America. They preached the gospel and people believed and the
Church started after more than 500 years.
Randy Harvey was the first pastor of
the church of Malisheve and he did a wonderful work leading many people to
Christ and disciplining them.
From Pastor Randy
Harvey the ministry was passed on to his son in law Jeff Harry and then from
Jeff the ministry was passed to me and my wife Teuta this August.
God not only He blessed
me with a wonderful wife this year but also with responsibility of being the Pastor and leading the Church and with an awesome ministry team.
These great people who love Him and want to serve Him along side me.
There new missionaries that joined the team; Jennifer Mellor who has been here some years ago in Malisheve, and now she is back and part of the ministry team.
Ryan Gleason, who came to assist me for a period of one year with the possibility of continuing, Lord willing.
In the same time we are blessed to say that we have two believers studying at the Bible College in
Tirana Albania and willing to come back and serve the Lord. Also one more is going this fall to the Bible College, his name is Rinor.

So finally I am so
blessed to have people who pray and support us while we are on the front lines
sharing the Love of Christ with the lost.
It is a new beginning for
the Church with new mercies and new grace but the same wonderful God and Savior.
We are very excited about what God is going to do with new open doors we have this year to serve God.
Thanks to all who has
been part of this work here by being personally in the mission field or by
prayers and support.
We will posting now on
once a month about what God is doing in Malisheve.
LOFTL Team.
