Why Kosovo Needs Hope
Kosovo is a small, landlocked country in Southeastern Europe. It declared independence from Serbia in 2008, but it still not recognized by some countries to be independent. The country of Kosovo has about 1.8 million people. Most of the population is ethnic Albanian, with Serb and other minority communities. The main religion is Islam, with small Christian minorities including Serbian Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant groups. Kosovo is also a young country, with many people under the age of 30.
Words of Hope provides a positive voice to the small population of Christians and seekers in Kosovo, reaching its cities and villages through FM radio programs and social media.
The Problem
Kosovo is one of the youngest countries in the world, with most of its 1.8 million people under the age of 30. While ethnically and linguistically tied to Albania, the religious and cultural climate remains overwhelmingly Muslim. Fewer than 5% of Kosovars identify as Christian, and Protestant believers are a very small minority. Churches are few, often isolated, and sometimes viewed with suspicion. Young people in particular are searching for identity and stability in a society still marked by war, ethnic division, and political uncertainty.
Our Strategy
Share the hope of the gospel in accessible ways through FM radio, daily devotionals, and social media content that reaches both cities and villages.
Strengthen seekers and new believers through discipleship groups and Bible study programs led by indigenous leaders.
Encourage and support small Christian communities by connecting people to local churches for fellowship, prayer, and spiritual growth.
