Well, we're happy to have, in our services today, Brad and Julie. Ley and their children, Brad and Julie, along with their children are laboring for the Lord in Albania. And Brad is teaching at the Southeastern Europe Theological Seminary where he, along with others at this seminary are seeking to train up the first generation of Albanian pastors. this is like an incredibly strategic, ministry.
And developing these men to both plant churches and to take existing churches. This is a country that for decades was under atheistic communist rule, and with the collapse of the atheistic communist regime, the door has swung wide open to the gospel. And people like Brad and Julie, have, been led of the Lord to take advantage of this open door of opportunity and to bring the gospel, to this starving, country. In addition to teaching at the seminary, Brad and Julie, are involved in discipleship, Bible studies, and personal evangelism at, at just about every opportunity.
So, Their ministry is a, a wonderful ministry, a God ordained ministry. We as a church here at Cornerstone are privileged to be able to, have the privilege of supporting them, and their ministry, and we're also very blessed to have them in our service with us this morning. After the second service, there's going to be a reception in the modular building. There'll be a lunch provided.
We would encourage you guys to stick around, for that, where Brad and Julie will be giving us, a, a more detailed update on their ministry and give you the opportunity to ask whatever questions you might have. about, their ministry. So that's after the second service in the modular building. But we've asked Brad if he would come, this morning and open up, the word to us....
