Albania's Communist dictator, Enver Hoxha, proclaimed his country to be the world's first truly atheistic state. Under Hoxha's rule, Captain Berti Dosti was one of the elite who served on a communications team monitoring Albania's borders for American incursions. However, this diligent soldier left his country unguarded for 15 minutes a week as he regularly tuned into Trans World Radio's broadcasts, ultimately becoming a believer. Had he been discovered he would probably have been shot. Yet this young man with a growing faith continued to listen and would later pioneer the rebuilding of Albania's wrecked society. |

Bosnia sits on the cultural divide between east and West, has a population that is divided between Bosnian, Croat and Serb, and was consequently very much caught in the middle in the war in the 1990’s. It is estimated that 250,000 people were killed in the fighting and “ethnic cleansing” that took place. This has left deep scars, all the more because this took place among communities that had previously lived together and even intermarried.
