Saimir Nasufi is a youth leader in Albania.
When did you trust Christ?
It was 2005 when I decided to give my life to Jesus. I was part of our church's teen programme in my home area. I went there because I liked the programme, and then, later on, I decided to give my life to Christ.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
My church life has been a defining moment, as well as having friendships with mature believers, praying, reading the Bible with them, attending Bible School, and learning New Testament Greek, which I continue to do now. A motorcycle accident I was in forced me to stay home, so I read the Bible and prayed more, which led to growth. Finally, my family life has also been positively impacted since my wife is a firm and committed believer.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I have been better equipped to preach the Word of God and have taken advantage of some great resources through ELF. The Forum is a great platform to network with other leaders, learn from each other, and receive resources to be a more effective Gospel worker. Attending ELF has helped me know how to approach members of my church, talk with them, and answer their questions.
What is your ministry?
I preach and teach regularly and help to organise the Sunday service. Additionally, I help to lead Bible studies and disciple younger people.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I have led a teen ministry. I also preach and teach at the church and am one of the elders.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I hope to grow in understanding the Bible and how we can practice it in our everyday ministry to our church.
