The Hoppes ask your continued prayers for the following:- For Archbishop Anastasios and our other bishops that they would have wisdom, strength and good health as they direct the Orthodox Church of Albania.

- That the hearts of children and university students would be open to the Gospel and that their lives would be transformed through it.
