The Journey continues...

The days are blurring as we continue on this journey. It was an all-day drive from Albania to Bosnia. Yesterday we arrived in Croatia. A lot to take in and process. I've been taking lots of notes, but I think the reflection will happen in flight on the trip home - much journaling to do.

We're truly seeing incarnational living in each country. Our visit to Albania took us to the Kenet near the Adriatic coastline in the city of Duress. Kenet in Albanian means "swamp" which literally describes where 55,000 of Duress' population live - many of them village people who hoped for jobs in the city. Free plots of land draw these people to build homes in the swampy area where the sewage system is atrocious and water is undrinkable. It's amazing what these M's are doing in this poor community where the city doesn't even recognize the people as resident's. And, they have chosen to live among them!

Posting some random pictures below of our travels and the culture.

Traveling through Kosovo

On our way to Albania we passed an old Roman bridge
from the Ignatia Road. Paul probably crossed this
bridge going into Illyria as in Romans 15:17-18.

We attended an Orthodox Easter service in Durres, Albania
which began at 11:00 p.m and went to 2:00 a.m.
