Albanian Stories - Post 3: Elena's Story

Before I started volunteering at TWR I didn't really know anything about radio and how it could be used to share the gospel. I had no idea it could engage people and bring them into contact with Christians. I didn't know that the programmes we broadcast are just the starting point of what we do as a missions organisation. As I look back over the interview we conducted with Elena, I discover her own words illustrate this far better than I could.

Albanian Stories - Post 2: Sarah

I'm calling the narrator of the second Albanian story Sarah. Sarah is 21 and lives in a town in central Albania. She's finished her education and is working out what to do next. Like many young Albanians, she's considered heading to Italy or other parts of Europe to find work. Despite the pull of foreign lands, Sarah has decided to stay in Albania. A couple of years ago she was listening to the radio as usual, switching from one station to the other in order to find the best music. As with many TWR listeners across the globe, Sarah stumbled across the Christian station on her radio. The drama programme on air that evening had a young, female protagonist. This intrigued Sarah and she began to listen very carefully.
