Albanian in Sweden
pronounced: al-BAY-nee-un

The Albanian have a small population compared with other Muslim groups in Sweden. More of them are applying to settle in Sweden each year because they want better economic opportunities than they have in Albania.

Ministry Obstacles: There are so few Albanians in Sweden that establishing any real ministry may be difficult. Establishing an Albanian Church in Sweden will require outsiders to learn their language and culture.

Outreach Ideas: Radio and other media sources, along with existing believers, may be useful for outreach. Outsiders will need to train Albanian Christian believers how to disciple others in Christ’s ways.

Scripture Focus: "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."
- John 15:5

Prayer Focus Pray for the Lord is to help today’s people group to understand that apart from Him they can do nothing of spiritual and eternal value. Pray that the Albanians in Sweden would have a strong community surrounding them. Pray that their basic needs would be met. Pray for the Lord to bless the Albanians spiritually and economically, so they will know that he is their provider. Pray for the Lord to thrust out loving ambassadors of Christ to the Albanians in Sweden.
