Transform 2010 Albania - From Swamps to Castles ##FULL##: Albania
Transform2010 (www.transform.om.org) is a unified effort around the Mediterranean to create momentum for the gospel by mobilising people and training them in telling their personal God story.
The Keneta (swamp land) is an illegal settlement on the edge of the city of Durres with areas of severe poverty. By sharing the Gospel through practical, creative and relational outreach we hope to bring hope to this area.
