We are in the ATL month which means “Ask The Lord”. We have no ministry or ministry partners set up. We simply ask God where he wants us to go and what he wants us to do. We listen, and then we obey. The point and practice of ATL month is that it would flow into our everyday lives. Ministry is life and life is ministry. There is no separation. The goal is to live every day asking the Lord where he wants us to go and what he wants us to do. It is helping to grow my dependency on the Holy Spirit. I want to let go of all control. I have had way too much of it for way too long. I want to fully trust God.
I think I am most excited to make mistakes. “What? Why Sav?”
Because the more I fail, the more I’ll learn and the more I’ll discern and do better next time. So, we prayed in Romania where God wants us and now my team and I are in Kukës (kinda)! Just the 6 of us are living on very outskirts of Kukës in the mountains in a small village. It is beautiful.
We had to find our own way out of Durres and had to find our own place to stay and live. There is a lot of freedom and a lot of things that can go incredibly wrong, but because we ask the Lord for just about everything, things have gone incredibly right.
We are living in a home hosted by a very kind girl, and we live right next to a mosque! There is also a school for the village kids just up the mountain. TALK ABOUT GOD PUTTING US IN A HOTSPOT FOR MINISTRY! The people here are already so kind even though we can’t speak Albanian. They have given us fresh apples, pears, and walnuts. This wasn’t at all what we were expecting when we booked our stay, and it has been far better, so we know this is God. We are hoping to help them anyway we can by helping them with their farms, crops, cattle, homes, cooking, and school. We want to pour into them, build relationships with them and tell them about Jesus. God loves these village people, and they may not even know it. That is going to change. We don’t just want to be Americans they remember that walk through here, we want them to remember us because they encountered Jesus and his love.
Thanks for sharing this important truth and testimony of walking in it Sav! So beautiful! I am so proud of you!
LOVE reading this! Praying for you and your team. Love you so much!
I thought with the “Village People” you all would be staying at the …”Y M C A” ..jk lol. Keep up the good works and I am so happy for you enjoying.

I love this Sav: “That is going to change. We don’t just want to be Americans they remember that walk through here, we want them to remember us because they encountered Jesus and his love.” So rich, so good.
