they built strong relationships within these communities. In 2021, they connected with Tony and Ida Llapushi and joined the Impact Church-Planting Movement. Through this partnership, God made it possible for them to plant and officially launch the church in June 2022. Kamza is a city situated between the villages of Zallmner and Frutikultura. Enea and Gerta’s connection with this community began many years ago, back when only a few people lived there. Together with a team from their church, Enea and Gerta lead the Impact Kamza Church while continuing to reach the surrounding villages with the gospel.

Leo's full-time ministry began with an invitation from Elton Llapushi, the pastor of Impact Tirana Church at the time. Later, Anxhela also joined the full-time ministry. This invitation confirmed their prayers and calling to serve God together. Anxhela's calling is to make God's Word known through children's ministry. The children's ministry is intertwined between the discipleship process and various activities organized for the entertainment of the children. Leo as the worship leader at the church, he leads the worship team, discipling them and teaching them the Word of God. He also leads the congregation in worship. In addition, Leo is actively involved in teaching and preaching at the church. Leo’s desire is to always raise generations that will worship God with all their hearts through the talents that God has given them.

In 2022, the Lord led them to Albania, where they served with Impact Tirana. Their ministry included evangelism, one-on-one discipleship, Bible teaching, leadership training, and outreach through sports. During this time, they developed a deep love for the local church and a growing burden for unreached people in Europe. They are now in Sicily, Italy, preparing to plant a new church. With hearts stirred by the spiritual need in the region, they are committed to proclaiming the name of Jesus and making disciples among the Italian people—so that many might come to know, worship, and enjoy fellowship with Christ.

Between 2009 and 2011, they served at “Rreze Drite” (“Ray of Light”) Church in Allias, Tirana, while attending the church planting school organized by IBSH in Durrës to deepen their ministry preparation. In 2012, God called them to start a new ministry in Hamallaj, a coastal area with great spiritual need. Beginning with children’s Bible lessons and activities, they opened doors into families and the wider community. Today, “Guri Themelit” (“Cornerstone”) Church in Hamallaj is a growing fellowship and loving spiritual home bringing light and transformation. Many families have come to know Christ and experience His love through this ministry. Their vision is clear: to reach every person with the gospel of Jesus Christ regardless of race, gender, or religion. Through dedication and open hearts, Sajmir and Lije are building a community that reflects Jesus’ love at the heart of Hamallaj.

Through your generosity, we were able to stand alongside these churches, helping strengthen their work and further the gospel. While our financial support has come to an end, we are grateful for the lasting impact we’ve made together and remain committed to praying for the continued success of this ministry.
