Death where is your sting?

In the past two weeks we have had six deaths. Arian's dad's family alone has had three of those deaths. A sad fact is that we are not sure if five of them were Christians. Death has a great sting for those who are non-believers. During this time of the year with Easter fast approaching, we think about the death of Jesus. We are grateful that nothing could hold him down. Death did not feel the sting of Jesus' death. He is risen! 

Women's Banquet: Mother's day here in Albania is celebrated on March 8th. It is a lovely day where all women even if they aren't mothers spend time and fellowship together. We celebrated with the women of the church on March 7th. Stefanie has been praying to have an event like this at the church for over a year. We decorated and prepared for the event. We had 17 women in attendance with 5 men serving and hosting the event. We shared in singing, a devotional and a meal. It was a great encouragement for the women of the church! 

Men's Conference: On March 20th the men attended a conference hosted by another church here in Durres. Eight men attended the conference. It was a great time of fellowship and encouragement from other believers. We are especially praying for one man who went Ismail who is not a Christian yet. The theme of the conference was to continue with faith until the end.
