Matthew 28:18-20

[18] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

PRISHTINA - A KEY CITY

  • Prishtina is the capitol of Kosovo with a population of around 228,000 people. Currently in 2025, according to Joshua Project statistics, Prishtina identifies as 90% Muslim with a sobering 0% “evangelical growth rate.” There are currently 45,000 students enrolled at the University of Prishtina. The average age in Prishtina is 28.

  • During our visit to Prishtina in November of 2024, we came to the knowledge that there are only 4 existing evangelical churches in all of Prishtina. We visited the largest of those churches with an attendance of 40 people.

  • This is undoubtedly a key city with a deep need for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Romans 10:14-15

“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? [15] And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”

Mission and Vision

  • Our ultimate mission is to see Jesus Christ glorified through planting a disciple making, church planting, self-sufficient, indigenous church.

  • Our primary mission is to preach the gospel in order to see people saved. Once people are saved, our mission is to disciple. Once people are discipled, our mission is to train men to handle the word of God, feed a flock, and care for a church. Once men are trained and we believe they are biblically qualified, we plan to ordain pastors and deacons. Once we believe the church is healthy and able to multiply on its own, we will turn the leadership over completely to a national pastor.

  • Once the church is self-sufficient and we have turned it over to a national, we plan to do it all over again somewhere else in Kosovo. We will trust God to win souls, make disciples, and plant churches until Jesus comes back, or we die.
