Who will we serve: This trip aims to reach out to teens, children, and their families.
Methods for sharing the Gospel:
Like many Europeans, Albanians place a high value on their children learning English, seeing it as a key to future success—especially considering that over 60% of Albanians speak at least one foreign language, with English being the most popular. Additionally, sports play a huge role in youth culture, with soccer, basketball, and volleyball ranking among the most popular activities for Albanian teens.
This creates a powerful connection point for Americans who love Jesus, offering a unique opportunity to build relationships through language learning and sports. By engaging with these young people and their families, believers can share the Gospel in a natural and impactful way, fostering deep, disciple-making relationships that can transform lives for generations.
Who should go on this trip:
First and foremost, those whom God has called should respond with a joyous “YES!” to this opportunity! This trip is designed for individuals 18 years or older and is ideal for English-speaking American believers with a passion for reaching young people and the energy to engage in their active lifestyles.
With nearly 80% of Albanians under 30 expressing a strong interest in learning English and sports being a universal connection point, this trip is especially valuable for those interested in sports evangelism and English evangelism. Even if you’ve never taught English as a second language, the provided materials will equip you to be an effective teacher.
