A Walk through Elbasan

For those of you who haven't quite had the chance to make it to Albania this is a fun little way to see the city. I love walking around the city and enjoy seeing the many different cultural, social, and economic lifestyles of the Albanian people. My favorite part of THIS video is the live turkeys lined up on the side of the road; that was a first for me. (Not a performance) 

Live turkeys, old men, and trees; with a title like that and the comedic voice-over your sure to enjoy this comical run-through of the place which I will call home for the next few weeks.... The Shume Bukur (beautiful) Elbasan, Albania.

Enjoy this lovely walk-through and keep looking forward to more coming your way soon.

Finally, I've Arrived

From the beginning I've been raising money, growing the vision, and building contacts/plans in Albania. Well, Finally, I've Arrived!

Oh man what an amazing view that is; the one with the cross in front of Elbasan as we are driving in to the valley. I wasn't even sure that was there it just came in the screen when I was filming. Yet, its a beautiful picture of what this whole trip is about; bringing the Love of Jesus (with all of its realness and compassion) in to Elbasan.

It's been so nice to see old friends, revisit old places, and rekindle the love which God put on my heart for this place.

Glad to be back!

The Final Hours

We are looking at less than 3 hours before take-off. The bags were packed, (late last night) ticket checks have been done, and I made sure I still had my passport.... Phew... Now we're ready to go! I've got a little meager 28 HOURS of flight travel ahead of me before I land tomorrow in Tirana, the capital of Albania. Of which, I'll stay the night with some great people there, then catch a bus and head off to Elbasan, the city I'll have long been waiting for. So in about 46 hours from now I will be in the beautiful land of Albania.   :)

           Made late last night, a video to help showcase what the 
                                   packing entailed.

Thank you so much to those of you who've helped make this possible. You know you are
