Evangelical Theological College Celebrates 10th Anniversary in Albania

The end of the recent school year culminated with the celebration of the 10th anniversary of ETC in Albania as well as the graduation. More students were launched into the ministry to harvest souls into the kingdom of God. Four graduates went directly from school into church plants where they are now serving the Lord. Another student returned to his home church in Kosovo for ministry. Ministers of the gospel are being trained to serve the Lord in Albania and abroad as the Holy Spirit direct. God’s wisdom is evident in his orchestrating the birth of the school and his faithfulness in sustaining it. As a result, the kingdom of God is expanding. ETC believes in missions, and the Bible College students are taught to have a missional worldview. In April, 30 people were sent from Albania to four countries including Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, and Turkey with the Word of God and the power of their testimony. The teams did a variety of ministry including praying, encouraging believers, visiting believers and non-believers alike, doing contact and relational evangelism, testifying, and serving through physical work. In Turkey, the team held a cultural event in a local church with Albanian folk music, folk dancing and national food. It was well received and established several new contacts.
