Global Benevolence

Some Christians are into local benevolence; others are into world relief. Here's a way to do both! Tomi and Anida Dobrenji won the US Embassy lottery to emigrate from Albania to the US four years ago. Since Albania is the poorest country by far in Europe, this was a wonderful opportunity for the Dobrenji family … Continue reading Global Benevolence
