After 4 years of college, late nights in the library, 127 hours of classes, 6 different houses, 16 different roommates, and even graduation… I’m finally sitting in the common room of a dorm not because I’m learning to play pool or waiting on a friend to hang out, but because it’s where I currently live! That’s right this month our ministry site is on an Albania campus, living in the girls dorm with the students here.
Our main focus: building relationships! YES!! I love building relationships with people especially through one-on-ones.
We are working with Campus Crusades for Christ aka CRU. This is an organization, for those of you that don’t already know, that we also have in the States. It’s a ministry on-campus that focuses on reaching out to college students (mostly freshman).
Here’s a tentative schedule of what are days look like:
7:30-8am Breakfast
8am-12:30pm Sell magazines for Cru/ One-on-one time with the girls
1-2pm Lunch
2-3pm Designated shower time for our team (with a dorm full of girls we HAVE to have assigned shower time!!)
3-6pm Free Time (work out, devotionals, team dates, exploring, etc)
6-7pm Dinner Time
7-9pm Hanging out in the common room
9pm Team/ Family Time
Mondays 7pm Prayer Meetings
Thursdays 5pm CRU meetings
Fridays 6pm American Nights (This is where we teach the culture of America to the students here aka DANCE PARTY!!)
I’m so excited about this month and can’t wait to see how God’s going to work here in Albania!
Here are some pictures from Albania so far:
