We have just finished our annual Word of Life Europe Summit in Albania and I feel enormous gratitude. These days have indeed been a great blessing for many.

We gathered around 220 senior pastors and leaders from Europe, representing 20 European countries.

During a summit, we come together to seek the Lord and connect with each other. We are all very busy with all that is happening in our own countries and work so it is extremely important to come together in this way and socialize with wonderful colleagues and leaders from the movement.

We have been experiencing for a while how God is leading us back to the Balkans and therefore wanted to organize our Summit in Albania. This is also a signal we want to send, that we are here in this wonderful part of Europe to preach the Gospel.

Now for the first time ever, we had four pastors from Romania, three pastors from North Macedonia and one pastor from Kosovo with us. It was so wonderful to see them worshiping God with us, and connecting in the spirit with our movement. We are planning and visioning for Bible schools, teams, missionaries and other opportunities in these regions. I am so thankful for these openings and for all God is doing!

For many leaders, these Summits are also an opportunity to meet God in person. One of the pastors shared this with me: “Ville, this was life-changing. I have been struggling with fatigue and struggling to find hope in all that is happening in my church. But now, after the evening meeting, I am totally free and detached from it. It was like a cloud was lifted from my shoulders.”
