Albania

The Republic of Albania

Albania is slightly smaller than Maryland and has approximately 3.6 million people. It is one of the poorest countries in all of Europe with 12.7% unemployment. 25% of the population is considered below the poverty level.

The government has much political unrest and trouble with the strong crime organizations. Albania is one of the source country for persons and illicit drug trafficking. Women and children from Albania are taken and sold to many countries in western Europe.

70% of the population is Muslim while the remaining 30% are Albanian Orthodox and Roman Catholic. There is very little missionary work going on in Albania. There are close to 7 missionaries working in the country today.



Let's pray today that God would raise up laborers to go to Albania.
