Living Water at the Well in Albania

It all started eight years ago. A woman named Dile felt called to preach the gospel in Fllakë, Albania, which has been labeled the “forsaken”town. During Communism, the government sent dissenters there, and it became a community of outcasts. The town became filled with despair, drugs, alcohol, and abuse, but Dile had faith that the gospel could penetrate those barriers.

The town had no running water to peoples’ homes, but only a solitary well where people gathered daily to draw water. Dile spent time each day standing in line sharing the gospel with the spiritually lost. One by one, people began to come to Christ. They went to draw natural water but found living water! Now there is a thriving AG church of 60 adults and 70 children. Money has been donated to purchase land for the church, but the land must be rezoned.
