Hope for Shkoder is an Evangelical Church that was founded in 1992 by a Norwegian Missionary named Unni Thorsen. She came to Albania to help the poor and to give them the good news of the Gospel of Jesus. The first two years Sister Unni visited Albania several times and then moved here in1994 to make it her home. She started a Christian Center where people could come and find hope, love and care. She helped the poor and held meetings where she preached the Word of God and prayed for people. In the year 2000 she, together with a group of 20 baptized Albanians, decided to officially establish a Church ministry. Pastor Koli Puka, appointed at that time, continues to lead the Church according to the vision and divine call that he received from God at a very young age.
