Faith Bible Church is partnering with Guri 21 in Tirana, Albania. We will be travelling June 21 - June 28, 2024

                       

We are taking the great game of baseball, (America’s past time), while also sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ to the surrounding community of the local church Guri 21 . The purpose of our trip is to walk alongside the local church and help bridge the gap between the church and their community.

 

Although we have partnered for many years in Tirana, this will be the first time we are utilizing this platform to share the gospel in Albania. We expect this partnership to become a long-term relationship; as an example, there are several Church to Church Partnerships (USA to International) that have been serving in the same way for more than 20 years. Truly making a difference for the kingdom, within the churches and communities that they serve.

 

We have a couple of requests –

 

First and foremost, we covet your prayers for this ministry. We ask that you pray for the Church in Albania, the community and the players that will be participating in this baseball camp. Pray for the hearts and attitudes to be those of grace, excitement, and cooperation. Pray that we Americans show the love, grace and mercy of Christ through all of our actions, words and deeds. Pray for traveling safety, good health, and endurance for the duration of the trip as well.

 

Our second request – we ask that you prayerfully consider providing financial support to the Faith Bible – Albania Missions ministry. Any amount that you feel led to provide, will be greatly appreciated a blessing to all the people involved. Airfare costs are nearly double the cost as compared prior years travelling to Europe. We have in-country ground costs to secure the camp facilities, meals, and beverages for all the campers and workers for the  duration of camp as well as securing the equipment to enable us to provide a camp of excellence for all involved, as we build for the future.

 

You can support us in several ways, via Thousand Hills – details provided within. You can designate specifically where you would like for the donation to be applied to. This includes:

 

•        To offset equipment costs (bats, gloves, baseballs, bases, helmets, backstops, batting tees, cones, team bags, etc.)

•        To offset uniform costs (shirts/caps)

•        To offset airfare and in country ground travel costs –General or designate to individuals listed below.

•        To offset in Italy camp startup costs – food, beverages, supplies, etc.

 

This is the 2024 team from Faith Bible that will be participating:

 

•        Roger & Tammy Ford

•        Cal & Sarah Johnson

•        George & Diane Reinstra

•        Daron & Tammy Aston - plus a daughter

•        Eric Moore – plus a son

•        Russell Johnson - Lead Teaching Pastor plus 2 sons

Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support consideration.

 

We hope that you will consider joining us for future mission trips to Albania or anywhere else that God sends us!
