Whether an Individual or a Nation, Everything Can Change in an Instant
The new leader of MP’s work in Albania passed away suddenly.
Last summer Mission Possible’s ministry in Albania celebrated thirty years, and Besa Shapllo, who had led it since the beginning, retired.
Edjola Dalaci had served with MP for ten years, and at 39 years old, she took Besa’s place as the new leader.
Right after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, we received more shocking news: Edjola had suffered a stroke while at the church. She was taken to the hospital but passed away a few days later.
A joyful and talented young woman who loved the Lord was suddenly gone! This is a very sad and difficult time for our teams, but we place our trust in the Lord. Gjergji Como, who has also been working with MP Albania for years, will step into the leadership role.

Mission Possible works in Albania with children, youth, and families, providing Christian activities and teaching. In the impoverished Bathore district of Tirana, we run an activity center and public library. School children and young people go there to check out books and have the opportunity to read Christian literature as well. Many of them participate in our activities.
Please pray for Edjola's family, our team and the work in Albania!
