Eduart “Eddie” Demo, Director of the Illyricum Movement in Albania, says we can either waste our lives or we can invest it into the lives of others. He tells the story of his own sons, 10 and 13, who spontaneously got together on their own and gave their savings, everything, to a widow with two grown, disabled sons, and through that, they came to know the Lord. Eddie says by fulfilling the needs of the mostly Muslim people in the area, they come to know Jesus and they disciple them and train them. Through teaching English, guitar, piano and drama, and by coming alongside families and teaching them how to raise children, how to have a better marriage, and helping people find jobs, this is how they bring the gospel. “We have a saying that people get discipled before they get evangelized.”
