3. The Mandate: Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15 Church of God World Missions/Church of God Prayer Ministries – www.cogwm.org www.praycog.org

4. The Meditation: Pastor: Lord, I wonder I would have felt standing in the crowd when you uttered the words, “Go, tell the nations!” People: Do we feel differently now – a continent and two millenniums removed? Even then, would I have assumed you were talking to someone else? Pastor: “Peter, he’s talking to you!” Even if you were gazing at me, I might have assumed that you had someone else in view! People: “Surely, Jesus, you can’t mean me! Me – go? Me – preach?” Interpreting the word ‘preach’ as ‘share,’ I still might have protested, “Me? Into all the world? To every creature?” Pastor: He’s waiting right now for my answer, for your answer – Are we going to break our silence and share? Anywhere? Everywhere? People: Lord, help me say, “I will no longer be silent!” Church of God World Missions/Church of God Prayer Ministries – www.cogwm.org www.praycog.org

5. We pray …. … for the 983,000 Gheg peoples … almost a million … Most of them Muslim, but a growing percentage, now coming to Christ. We pray for the one in three who live in cities, to encounter Christians who have a vital witness. We particularly pray for those who practice "folk Islam," who embrace occult practices such as praying to the dead, seeking cures for sickness, and praying for protection from spirits and curses, that the Living Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit will wake them up to true spirituality – centered in Jesus. The Unreached People Group From Albania The GHEG Peoples Church of God World Missions/Church of God Prayer Ministries – www.cogwm.org www.praycog.org

6. We pray ….... God will grant His wisdom and favor to Church of God World Missionaries focusing on the Gheg Albanians. Raise up additional long-term laborers … to go … to share. Pray for religious freedom that does not restrict preaching. Pray that Bibles will be distributed. Pray for God to open the eyes of people throughout Albania. Ask God to use the Gheg believers to share Christ's love with their people. Pray for stronger Gheg churches. The Unreached People Group From Albania The GHEG Peoples Church of God World Missions/Church of God Prayer Ministries – www.cogwm.org www.praycog.org

7. We pray ….... For the TOSH people of Albania, 1,936,000, almost 2 million, four-of-five Muslim. Many have never heard of Jesus – believers are few in numbers. We pray for this ancient land, first reached by Andrew who obeyed Jesus' command by going to ancient Albania. We pray for the small remnant of Christians who remain. We pray for Albania, "the world's first atheistic state," [1967] closing its borders to any influence from the outside world. Now open. The Unreached People Group From Albania The TOSH Peoples Church of God World Missions/Church of God Prayer Ministries – www.cogwm.org www.praycog.org

8. We weep ….... For the TOSH people of Albania, without God. … for this dark place, where the crime rate has soared and the economy is unstable. We pray for the miners, for the worthless currency, the high rate of unemployment, the widespread poverty. We rejoice … That a small door has opened to the gospel. Still, we pray for the Muslims from the Middle East, who are now attempting to re-evangelize Albania, to gain control of the nation, by sending their missionaries. The Unreached People Group From Albania The TOSH Peoples Church of God World Missions/Church of God Prayer Ministries – www.cogwm.org www.praycog.org

9. We weep …. For the people, who, if the restrictive laws against evangelicals succeed, may not hear the gospel. … over one million Korans recently distributed, and 900 new mosques built or reopened. We pray … raise up church planters within Albania … that Muslim influencers would come to Christ … protect the hearts and minds of the Tosk peoples … send them Bibles … open their eyes spiritually. Send prayer teams to break up the soil through worship and intercession … empower Christian leaders among the TOSK.
