Albania, Southeast Europe

Not long ago, Albania was one of Europe’s poorest nations. Now the state boasts an upper-middle income economy. Under Communist rule, no religion was allowed. Now, Islam claims twice as many followers as Christianity, though most who claim Christianity are reported to be nominal. The country has no restrictions on proselytism and no persecution threatens the Church. However, neo-paganism is growing in Albania and the Church needs to be equipped to respond in a relevant way. Albania is currently the most corrupt country in Europe and we are asked to pray that Albanian leaders would repent of their ways and seek God according to 2Cor.4:2 – Renouncing underhand ways and refusing to practise cunning.
