In 1991, Communism in Albania collapsed. Suddenly, Albania, just west of Greece and across the Adriatic from Italy, found it borders open to foreign visitors after 40 years as the most isolated and closed country in the world. Followers of Jesus with a heart for sharing the Gospel with Albanians were among the first to enter. They preached the good news of Jesus Christ on street corners and in door-to-door evangelism. Today, there are vital and growing churches across the country.
Alongside Ministries International has been present in Albania since 1992, supporting the work of missionaries and the Albanian believers in Korçë, Bilisht and Erseka, in southeastern Albania. Long and short-term work has been very important in establishing and supporting the Church.
