Sunday Special

Today was our first whole day in Tirana and it was definitely full! We started with breakfast at the Stevens center. It was great!


I'm most assuredly a fan of their chocolate chip pancakes and coffee still.



After a delicious breakfast we walked down to Pastor Alex's church. We were able to be a part of the first service ever to be held in their new location! We worshiped with the church and then Dick and Tom were able to help dedicate the building alongside Alex. It was an awesome time of unity as the congregation all said their "amens."





Then Pastor Brian had a time to share as well.



It was great to see him uplifting and encouraging this congregation in Tirana.

After the dedication we witnessed a wedding at the church.



Once the wedding was over we had a short time to talk to people and meet some new friends. We were even able to pray for a few.






After church we stopped for coffee. It was a nice break from the cold as it had started to rain!



Well, coffee and Jesus.



After our little break we walked for a bit in the rain to the bus stop. We took the bus to Streha. (Tom's church)



Once we got to Streha we had a short time of worship together and a couple of us went to check out the roof. It's always one of the best views of the city.



Then we had our second church service for the day. We did worship and pastor Brian gave an awesome message! We also prayed over Gerald since he will be staying for the rest of the year. Afterwards we got to talk to and pray for people again.





Lastly but certainly not least we had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants here.




Fajitas and chimichangas are always a good way to end the day!
One more bus ride back to the Stevens center to wrap it all up..



And Goodnight to all! There will be more to read tomorrow!
