Tuesday, June 9, 2015


“Bring hope in a broken world through love and by being true in Christ" - was the main message that round 222 youth from evangelic churches of Tirana, Elbasan, Librazhd and Korça, shared during the six weeks of “Live Life” global campaign in Albania.

World Vision works in the three areas and partners with the churches through its Faith in Development progamme. On their journey, which started before Easter, youth helped their communities by cooking meals for the poorest families and chopping wood for 12 others (so they could have a warmer winter).

On March 8, the youth of Libonik church in the Korça area organized a program for 50 mothers and grandmothers of Libonik village. They showed them how important and valuable they are for their beloved and on the eyes of the Lord. “If we want to bring hope, we must organize initiatives and act! Only this way we can make a change in this broken world,” said Kostika, one of the youth from Korça area church.

They journey was concluded with a conference were youth came together, accompanied by their pastors and World Vision staff and shared their experiences and challenged with each other, leaving their footprints to their peers in order that even others could join and help the communities as much as possible.
