"He found me in my abandonment"
BMS mission worker Justine met Vlora Bytyqi, a believer from Kosovo, who despite a difficult childhood and being made a refugee in the Kosovo war, found new hope in Jesus Christ. This is Vlora's Story: My name is Vlora, I'm from Kosovo and come from a Muslim-background. My family never thought about 'who is God?' or 'does God love us?' When I was one year old my mother abandoned us and my father re-married. Two years later, my father moved abroad and his wife followed soon after. For a while, believing my stepmother was my mother, I was confused as to why my 'mother' would leave me. I was sent to live with my grandmother. Life was tough as I was forced to endure continued torment from neighbourhood children because I was abandoned. Click below to read a fascinating testimony of Vlora, a believer in Kosovo
