Dear Friends and Family,
I have some exciting news to share with all of you. Cory’s sister and her husband have accepted God’s call on their lives to go and be missionaries in Albania. Kaci and Ryan felt God calling them this summer to the mission field. They have been on an amazing journey of trusting Him completely for all the answers since then! From our vantage point we will miss them dearly while they are gone, but we are so exciting God is using them in such a mighty way!
I want to share some of the facts of their journey with you so that you can first and foremost be in PRAYER for them! Also if you would like to give, I wanted to allow you to do that. They will leave sometime in January or February as soon as their support is raised. Kaci and Ryan will be taking Tate (4) and Mya (2) with them. Please pray for all four of them daily. They will be moving to Albania for about 7 months. They don’t know the language or customs so they are relying totally on God to show them what He has planned. They will live on the outer edge of the capital city of Tirana in a small apartment. Kaci will be a nurse in a free clinic they are starting in the back of a church. Ryan will be a “Mr. Fix-it” by helping the churches there with any repairs. He will also use his business skills to help with the district church office. There is one other mission family there and they have 3 small children, so the kids will have some American friends.
Albania is south of Hungary, Romania, Serbia, and Bulgaria and just north of Greece, and close to Italy. There are 3.6 million people that live there and the country is only about 11,100 square miles. This is smaller than Rhode Island. 70% of the country is Muslim while only 1% is Evangelical Christian. There are 3 Nazarene churches established there that they will be working with. There are a total of 140 in attendance on average each week.
Kaci and Ryan need abut $17,000 for the entire time they are there plus any extra for incidents that arise while there. If you want more information about what they are doing please call or email us and I can get you in touch with them. If you want to give, it will be tax deductible.

Hey Kara Reid,
Hope you guys are doing well.
I've got some friends who are in Albania right now. You might pass their name along to your brother and sister in law just in case they're looking for someone else who speaks English over there:
