The Full Story
About
In July 2023 we realized a dream that began somewhere around 3 -5 years prior. This dream was to create a center in Korca for students. The center is a multifunctional space with four main focuses: growing community through fellowship, bringing youth to a deeper knowledge and understanding of God, developing the lives and walks of youth through discipleship, engaging with the culture through education and cultural activities.
​
​
We want to create a fun and safe place for students to come and hang out at any time. There are not a lot of activities or places to hang out for youth in our city. We organize various group activities like biking, hiking, laser tag, and futbol teams. We have weekly bible studies through the school year. We also have a café on the first floor with all the standard coffee items but we also sell have ice-cream and sandwiches. The proceeds go towards making the center self sustaining which is important in helping create a long lasting ministry here. On the second floor we have a large place to host student art activities with some very interesting local partners. On the second floor we also have a makers space with 3d printers, laser cutter/engraver, and robotics courses. Our VEX V5 course is the first of it's kind in Albania. and we will be posting more on it in the future.
The Center
Our first floor is a multipurpose space with a fully functioning café; a requirement here in the Balkans! Our goal is for people to feel at home here. Whether stopping in to have a coffee with friends, playing board games in the evening, grabbing a quick bite for lunch between classes, or doing some homework.
