It's a special treat to come back to Cornerstone, a real special treat. And, this morning, what I want to do with you is not just give you an update on the ministry, but also look at the Word of God, and I hope that you will be greatly encouraged, greatly full, more full of joy. than when you came in to the service this morning. And as Mike mentioned, we're involved with church planting, really two ministries are church planting and leadership training.
we have a seminary, as Mike mentioned. So it's a great joy to be involved in both of those ministries. And really it's in the land of Shia. Shipara is, The name that Albanians have for their own country, they don't call it Albania.
Shiburi means land of the eagles. And in case you don't know where it is, most people wouldn't, except if you've heard me speak before and you've seen a map like this, and now you're able to find Albania, right? Just grab onto the heel of the boot. Some of you remember that.
And another shot of it here. You can see it more clearly from the satellite image, the outlined small country right next to Italy and above Greece, right on the coast. The general Mediterranean area and the Adriatic and Ionian Sea, which we'll see more of later. Well what about Albania?...
