Shrapnel and artillery shells destroyed more than 300 homes near Tirana, Albania, in March 2008. Enkelejda Kumaraku, director of TWR-Albania partner Valet e Ungjillit (Gospel Waves), explains the tragedy for many listeners: “In a few minutes, they were without homes, without clothes, without basic needs…. From the very beginning, we’ve been recording the interviews of people, not just giving the sad stories, but trying to really tell people that God has a plan for their lives and for the country.”

• TWR-Albania produces programs in Albanian, including Thru the Bible and Women of Hope.
• TWR’s response to the blasts, The Answers: When the Whole World is Shaking, is a daily, seven-minute program of eyewitness interviews, questions and answers from local pastors.
• TWR is partnering with World Vision and local churches to build a creativity center for area children, offering them a positive experience in the midst of trauma.
