2nd Hope Partner Training at the Stephens Center

What an wonderful day.  We began our 2nd Hope Partner Training at the Stephens Center in Tirana.  We had 17 women attend from 8 different churches or missionary organizations.  Each of these women love the Lord and have a heart to serve other women.

We are having a great time
 
Getting to know each other

 We started our day in worship, with a young Albanian women leading us in song along with a young man who played guitar.  It was beautiful pure worship.  I listened to them sing in Albanian and it was if I could understand.  We will attempt to post a small video shot to let you see how beautiful it was.  


The women spent time  taking the Spiritual Gifts Profile and seeing how God uniquely made them.  For many of them it was confirmation and them in what they are already to for God.  Tomorrow we will begin to role play the mentoring process together.  Christy and I felt blessed to be with these women.


I thought you might want to see what Christy and Matt look at out their back door every day.  The mountains behind their house are beautiful.
