HISTORY
HISTORY OF THE ALBANIAN WORK On February 20,
1967, Enver Hoxha officially proclaimed Albania
an atheistic country, outlawing religion, closing
churches and mosques, banning all religious
observances, and confiscating property.

HISTORY
HISTORY OF THE ALBANIAN WORK On February 20,
1992, exactly 25 years to the day after Hoxha
declared war on God, Hoxhas statue was pulled
down from its pedestal, and his fingers and toes
were scattered all over the streets of Tirana.
Hoxha challenged God, and God won the contest.

HISTORY
HISTORY OF THE ALBANIAN WORK In July 1992, soon
after the fall of communism, God opened the door
to Albania, and a group of twenty-six teachers,
led by Bill McDonough, Ben Jones, and Dick Ady
moved in. During the month of August, 42 people
were baptized INTO CHRIST. And God has been
working in Albania ever since.
