We proudly present our annual report 2024. With the support and prayers of many many friends of the ministry we were given the possibility to make an impact in the lives of many prisoners and their families. We visit thousands of prisoners all year long, visit hundreds of families in need and offer courses and training to numerous children and teenagers and help them build a healthy future.
Full-time Deputy Director sought to further develop our organization in Albania. We offer hope and new opportunities to (former) prisoners, their children, and families, working together with numerous local churches.
Albania is known for its poverty and the hospitality of its population, of which about 60% is Muslim. Our foundation works to break the cycle of poverty and impossibility. The Deputy Director position is an existing role, and we are looking for someone available within a reasonable timeframe. Discussion about this is possible.
Missionary Prison Ministry Prison Fellowship Albania aims to spread the gospel and reach as many people as possible with the good news of Jesus. This is the core of our work: establishing missionary churches in every prison where inmates care for each other and collaborating with local churches. We offer practical help, reintegration programs for ex-prisoners, and support families and children with education, home repairs, and medical care. Our mission is clear: we want to change lives through faith and action.

Today I sat with a foreign prisoner, after I met him 3 weeks ago for the first time. That time he could not speak calmly or even stay in 1 place due to his great restlessness. This time he had better control over his emotions, and he seemed happy to see ‘a familiar face’. Such a situation shows what the impact of our visits can be. Being present in the most difficult times, listening, being the familiar face. Below you will find an update of our work, highly recommended.
