About me

Location Berat, Albania
Introduction Hello, we are the Smith Family: James, Andrea, Clara, Lydia, and Gideon. We are former AIM students from SIBI who served in Mariupol, Ukraine and Moscow, Russia. Our home church is the Valley Church of Christ in Wasilla, Alaska. We moved in 2022 to Albania where we are working to encourage churches, teach youth, offer English lessons, while exposing our children to service and other cultures. It's so fun to see what God has done in our lives. Resurrecting this blog just felt like the right thing to do. Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. John 4:35
