Project Teen Challenge rehab home, Albania

Renovation in progress
Blrina & Gesi Hysenaj
In the past years, we have written several blog posts about the work of Orges (Gesi) & Blerina Hysenaj among the homeless and addicted in Albania. Gesi is director of Teen Challenge Albania.

He visits methadone clinics, has started several coffee houses where addicts are welcome for a conversation, coffee and a touch of God's love.

Gesi gives Bible studies and courses and has been seriously searching for a building or house that can be turned into a men's rehab center.

And yes, the time has finally come! Recently, Teen Challenge has signed a 5 year lease contract for a house and Gesi started working with a number of volunteers to renovate the property.

Beautiful location for a TC center
👉 The renovation of an old and broken down house is a beautiful parallel with broken human lives that are slowly being restored by God.

In the pictures you can see how hard they are working to make this house ready for use. Your donations (large and small) are welcome at this start-up stage to renovate the house and to buy furniture and such.

The Teen Challenge home will be the first Christian residential center for people with drug and alcohol addictions in Albania!

Serious renovation work
We find it incredibly exciting that in the coming months a men's rehab center will be opened, finally! An answered prayer.

It will be nice!!
Funds are urgently needed for the renovation, but also for beds, furniture, lighting, heating ... well, you name it.
