Christians were tortured and imprisoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who would have imagined that the&nbsp;<em>Worlwide Evangelisation for Christ<\/em>&nbsp;European Conference would be held in what used to be the world&#8217;s most closed country?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dozens of WEC missionaries from the 4 corners of Europe met at an hotel on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. 8 days of prayer, seeking God about the future of our mission and working in small groups on new strategies for evangelism, church planting and mission mobilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Sunday afternoon, we travelled to Tirana, the capital. A small city with a mix of Soviet-era buildings, new modern towers, Orthodox churches and mosques&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top of a pyramid that had been built to the glory of the dictator, we prayed for the city and the Albanian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the early 90 s, this small Balkan country is wide open.
