We, together with other churches and mission organizations in Pogradec, have three camps where we supply host families with food, hygienic articles, etc. We are happy that more and more Kosovars are coming to our meetings and are listening very attentively to the Word of God. By presstime, International Bible Society-Europe had printed 140,000 copies of When Your Whole Word Changes , IBS disaster booklet, in Albanian for those impacted by the Balkan crisis. An order was placed for another 30,000 in Slovakian. Printing of additional copies has been ongoing.
Distribution is done through local partner ministries and churches.
When Your Whole World Changes is the result of a collaborative sharing of ideas by IBS, World Vision Relief and Development and Fuller Theological Seminary. We wanted hurting people to be comforted, enlightened and encouraged by God s Word. The Bible is so incredibly relevant to daily living. Soon after, Jan Johnson, a writer with experience in working with homeless people and urban ministries, was invited to submit a draft. But before she could do so, she experienced a crisis situation firsthand when a devastating earthquake rocked Los Angeles in 1994.
