Albania: September 2026

Journey with us to Albania, a stunning and often-overlooked gem tucked away in the heart of the Balkans. With its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and warm hospitality, Albania is a place where culture and tradition run deep. Yet, for many, the message of Jesus remains unfamiliar—a treasure still waiting to be fully discovered.

We will be joining Global Ventures to share the hope of Jesus with the Albanian People in the 10/40 window! From vibrant cities to quiet villages, you’ll show God’s love through community outreach, heartfelt conversations, service projects, and powerful family festivals where thousands hear the story of Jesus.
 

ABOUT GLOBAL VENTURES
Global Ventures was founded in 1998 by John and Martine Smithwick with the vision of training and equipping the church to go to the harvest fields. Their mission is to facilitate a Global Evangelism movement by raising up an army of front-line harvesters who effectively minister the Gospel to the unreached masses, and as a result – win a billion souls to Christ. Global Ventures impacts nations through evangelism, crusade festivals, discipleship, service projects, and church planting; and as a result, they are making an impact across nations that will resonate for eternity. With over 2.5 million salvations, they aim to change the statistics of those who have no access to the Gospel and transform lives forever by spreading Christ’s hope worldwide.
