<\/span><\/p>\nOur story began in the hearts of Elton (Tony) and his wife Gresilda (Ida) Llapushi. Both are Albanians raised in Muslim families, Jesus saved them when they were still teenagers. Since the first steps on their walk with Jesus, God placed a desire in their hearts to reach the lost for Christ. In 2010 they got involved in church-planting ministry, since then Church-Planting have been their main ministry. By the grace of God they have been able to plant and help planting 6 churches, and now they oversee 5 those churches in Balkan region, (Kosovo & Albania). Now that the network of churches is growing, Elton and Gresilda believe that God have called them to leading Impact Churches Movement. Elton and Gresilda will be focusing on caring for the pastors and the leaders that are currently leading our churches in Albania and Kosovo. Their role will also be to identify, train, equip, support and send indigenes church-planters who have a call to plant new churches among unreached people groups. Their heart is to see hearts and lives transformed by the power of the GOSPEL through Church Planting ministry among unreached people groups in the balkans. <\/p>\n
