Mission Fields
Albania
New Life's involvement with Albania started with one of
those "Jesus" moments. In 1992
Allan and Ros Smith were staying in Corfu and decided
to take a day trip to Saranda in southern Albania as, after
the fall of
communism the year before, the
country had only just opened to tourists.
On their brief day trip they found unimaginable poverty
in this European
country and Ros immediately fell in love with the people.
With the help
of other churches
and individuals, New Life started to take aid to the
country. Ros was determined to learn Albanian, which she
did, although
her modesty causes her to say that she is not very good
at it!
Now 13 years on Allan and Ros still visit Saranda twice
a year and have
input into two churches as well as giving aid to the needy.
