Just before Thanksgiving, five dedicated Parish Ambassadors journeyed to Albania for the First Ambassador Pilot Program, designed to deepen understanding and support for the Mission Center. The team was led by Anastasia Barksdale, former missionary to Albania and current Mission Center Parish Engagement Coordinator, joined by Grants Manager Santhe Loizos. During their week-long stay, the group witnessed the ongoing transformation of the Orthodox Church of Albania from destruction to its inspiring restoration.
