Seventh-day Adventist churches across Albania joined the global launch of OneVoice27 on September 5. The movement seeks to unite Adventists around one mission and encourage them to use their personal digital media to share the gospel message.

During the launch, pastors invited members to use their spiritual gifts to share Jesus across Albania’s 12 counties. The launch also marked the beginning of a year of spiritual preparation. Churches are focusing on prayer using a year-long prayer calendar, personal devotion, and finding opportunities to reach others.

Members were encouraged to consider whom they could reach out to as part of the OneVoice27 initiative. On the same day, Eralba Imeraj was baptized and became a member of the Tirana Central Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Delmar Reis joined Imeraj on her journey towards joining the church and baptized her, describing her testimony as an example of how personal relationships, prayer, and spiritual support can lead people towards faith. “Sometimes, evangelism is about meeting someone for the first time. Other times, it is about reconnecting with someone who was once close. And often, the result comes after months, or even years, of prayer, friendship, and presence,” Reis said.

Although OneVoice27 was officially launched this month, preparations in Albania began several months ago. Since April 2026, pastors across the country have been meeting weekly to pray, plan, and consider how to involve their local churches and communities in the initiative.

Together, they have developed strategies for every stage of the journey. The strategies developed included preparing churches for the launch to creating ways for members to remain engaged and spiritually connected throughout the months ahead.

Throughout September, church members will receive resources designed to keep the vision of OneVoice27 present in their daily lives and help them prepare spiritually for the year ahead.

Among these is a year-long prayer calendar, running from September 2026 to August 2027. With 12 counties across Albania, each month focuses on one of them, inviting members nationwide to pray specifically for that county and its people. The calendar is designed to encourage churches across Albania to spend the coming months praying for the people and places they hope to reach before events are organized, invitations are sent, and evangelistic initiatives begin.

Alongside the prayer calendar, members will receive a personal devotional resource to encourage them in their spiritual journey.
