A student ministry team from the Bible college in Albania, together with a local Albanian team, went to an Albanian village in a sensitive Balkan country where, for the first time in 400 years, locals heard the gospel, sang Christian songs and received prayer. The people of that village have been exceptionally receptive to the gospel. It is a historic, God-given opportunity. This village was one of the first to suffer the tragedy of war in 2001. Now it is hearing the Good News of Christ. One team member saw this vision during the outreach: “I saw a powerful man with a big hammer, hitting a stake firmly stuck in the dry ground. Each time he struck the stake, it went deeper into the ground. Each blow released shock waves and sent sparks flying. A great noise echoed over the land. God helped me to understand that this man is the church, that the hammer is our prayer, and that the stake is the gospel. This assures us that God is working and that despite the hard, dry ground, the gospel penetrates the hearts of men.
