At present, there is a significant void when it comes to spreading the message of Jesus Christ to the Albanian population in the expanding diaspora. Our primary focus lies in establishing new church groups as the most effective means of reaching and nurturing communities, ultimately creating disciples. Currently, we are in the process of laying the foundation for an Albanian Church in East Toronto and preparing to expand our work to other areas as the Lord provides workers, spaces and supplies.

However, we recognize that we are dealing with a community that not only lacks a Christian background but has also been subjected to negative perceptions and misconceptions about the church and its representatives. Many individuals within this community have never been exposed to the authentic Gospel and may remain unresponsive until they hear it from a credible source.

Consequently, we are actively seeking practical ways to establish credibility with strangers and bring blessings into their lives. Through extensive assessment, we have identified the pressing needs of the Albanian community, and we are dedicated to addressing these needs as we strive to manifest the kingdom of God. Some of main projects that are in different phases of their development:

Christian Workers. In certain countries, one dollar has more impact than in others, so small contributions to poorer countries support more workers than in North America. Nevertheless, the mission field in North America is growing from outside with new immigrants and inside with the “no church goers” population from young and older generations. Christians support their pastors, but we need to support the evangelists and missionaries in our backyard. When a full-support is not yet reached our workers will do part-time and seasonal jobs to have their needs met and that impacts how much they can do in ministry. Can you consider supporting one of them? Check a list of these workers.

“Zoti Flet Shqip” website. “God Speaks Albanian: Exploring the World of Faith with Reason”.  This platform is dedicated to providing an extensive range of materials in Albanian, specifically tailored towards Agnostics and Atheists who seek a meaningful dialogue about life’s big questions. Our primary objective is to foster an environment where individuals can engage in thoughtful discussions, critically examining their beliefs and values. Through our carefully curated content, we strive to present logical and compelling arguments that challenge conventional thinking, encouraging participants to embark on a journey of self-discovery and intellectual growth. In addition to serving Agnostics and Atheists, we also endeavor to assist those who identify with other faith expressions in evaluating their own beliefs. Utilizing a comprehensive range of resources, our website offers an opportunity for individuals to broaden their horizons and engage in a comprehensive examination of their spiritual and philosophical perspectives.  Support the development of this enriching journey of self-discovery for people are on a quest to expand our understanding and make sense of the complex world of faith and reason.

Albanian Music Ministry. Inspiring Generations with Captivating Melodies and Meaningful texts. Rooted in a friendly Albanian tone, our compositions aim to resonate deeply with the hearts of our fellow Albanians. Almost all the Christian music is translated from English speaking composers. That might resonate with some Albanian Christians, but from the experience Albanian composed songs have a different impact.  We believe that music can touch souls, bridge divides, and uplift spirits. By crafting songs that strike a chord with listeners, we strive to connect on a spiritual and emotional level, offering a unique musical experience that will bring Albanians closer to think about God and worship Him. We are collaborating with Worship ministries in Albania and Kosovo, as we join forces to promote this transformative music to anyone. If you are someone who have gifts in this area, please reach out to us.

Welcome to Canada.  We understand that as new families and individuals arrive here, they often face various challenges and uncertainties. That’s why we are here to extend our warmest welcome and provide them with the information, encouragement, and prayers you may need during this transition. We aspire to create a supportive environment for Albanians who are seeking to build a new life in Canada. Our goal is to establish an ONLINE one-stop centre, where individuals can easily access the information, they require and connect with others based on their specific needs and opportunities. Our aim is to make their journey smoother and more manageable. We believe that by offering comprehensive support and fostering connections within the Albanian community and other established serving newcomer organizations we can help new immigrants thrive and experience God’s love practically in their lowest of moments.

“Divorce Care and Grief Share: Providing Support for Albanians Facing Solitude during Difficult Times”.

Two remarkable programs aim to assist Albanians navigating tough times alone. Divorce Care and Grief Share have been developed specifically for those who find themselves isolated due to a lack of trusted family or friends, or for those burdened by indescribable shame and pain, which they hesitate to share with strangers. This is happening and it’s more difficult withing the Albanian community who are very far from homeland and continues to experience cultural challenges.

1. Our Divorce Care programhas been designed to provide a safe haven for Albanians not walking the difficult path of divorce alone. Although divorce is not what we promote or support easily, we want to help the increasing number of people who are going through that. We aim to have a compassionate team, comprised of trained professionals and volunteers, will accompany participants on their journey towards healing and renewal. In a non-judgmental and empathetic environment, attendees will have the opportunity to share their stories, gain insights from others, and acquire valuable coping strategies. Divorce Care fosters a strong support system that replaces loneliness with understanding, fostering personal growth, and regaining a sense of hope for the future.
2. Grief Share: Honoring Loss and Embracing Hope amidst Grieving.  Grief, especially when experienced in solitude, can be an overwhelming burden for anyone. Our Grief Share program extends its helping hand to Albanians dealing with the profound pain of loss, be it the death of a loved one, the breakup of a relationship, or any other significant loss experienced in life. We understand that in such times, sharing feelings and struggles can be arduous, often due to the lack of trusted confidants or the weight of shame who in the Albanian context might be more than other communities. Help us to reach out and help everyone who hurts.
