Schoch Family

Ministry Overview

David and Julee Schoch have decided, with much prayer and input from many, that they will focus on the Gypsies or Roma people in Tirana, Albania.

The Schochs recently moved to a home that is in the gypsy community hoping to encourage depth in relationships and more opportunity for the gospel to spread. The hope is to see a church started based upon several home cell groups. They are seeking God in prayer to raise up five Gypsy men as core group leaders. Men are not only the strong rule makers in this society, but in an area ravaged by drugs, alcohol and spousal abuse, it is rare to find a decent role model. They hope to be a model of Godliness for them to witness.
