UnedheZoti.net

In partnership with Jesus.net, Kenny and Urtan are developing UnedheZoti.net, the Albanian language version of the Jesus.net web ministry.The ministry is all about using internet tools for a clear and engaging presentation of the Gospel, offering seekers an opportunity to accept the Gospel or ask any questions they still have about God and Jesus.

It’s the strategic, intentional and relational follow-up that makes this ministry unique and effective. Follow-up ranges from enrollment in a web course for continued learning about Jesus to immediately finding a local church.

The key measure of success is continued engagement of seekers in a local church. You can see some statistics of the Jesus.net ministry network and real-time decisions to follow Christ.

For a comparision, you can visit the English version of the “Knowing God” website for an idea of what UnedheZoti.net is like.
