Tek Ura Together we build bridges to hope and dignity Një urë drejt mundësive të reja dhe shpresë për një të ardhme të lulëzuar.

Tek Ura means ‘At the Bridge’ We stand with Albania’s most marginalised—offering therapy, skills training, recovery, and inclusive Christian community in Tirana and Durrës. Our vision:
‘a flourishing community for all – where people feel valued, interconnected and are active participants’

Through our programs we seek to offer a crossing point for a diverse and often divided community to reconcile and live together in peace, where there is community healing, social justice and where life and faith are celebrated. A bridge to new possibilities and hope of a flourishing future.

Një komunitet lulëzues për të gjithë - ku njerëzit ndjehen të vlerësuar, të ndërlidhur dhe janë pjesëmarrës aktivë. Përmes 5 programeve ndërlidhëse ne kërkojmë të ofrojmë një pikë kalimi për një komunitet të larmishëm dhe shpesh të ndarë, për tu pajtuar dhe jetuar së bashku në paqe, ku egziston shërimi i komunitetit, drejtësia sociale dhe ku festohet jeta dhe besimi.

Sunshine, sea air and good company ☀️🌊

Today our Older Persons Social Group in Durrës, led by Tea and Revi, took their health promotion session out of the centre and down to the beach.

We walked, talked, laughed and soaked up the September sun. We also took time to think about looking after our health, body and mind, at every stage of life. Friendship and fresh air really are good medicine!

Everyone went home with a small gift and a simple message: "Don't let stress steal your peace!"

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you… Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27)

Prayer is where every bridge begins.

Our new Prayer Guide walks with the team in Tirana and Durrës through the autumn — 18 weeks, September to December, each week focused on one of our five programmes. The children in our homework clubs. Families at our rehab clinics. People rebuilding their lives through Recovery. Our growing, Albanian-led church. And the community that gathers around our two centres.

Every week has a verse to hold on to, and every day has a short prayer. It takes two minutes — and it matters more than you know.

🙏 Pray today's prayer at tekura.org/pray — it changes every morning 📖 Download the free guide from the same page ⛪ Using it at church? There's a print-ready A5 version too, and we can send weekly verse slides for your notices — just email [email protected]

Please share it with your small group, your prayer chain or your minister. And if you're praying with us, leave a 🙏 in the comments so the team can see it.

'Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.' — Colossians 4:2

Faleminderit shumë for standing with us.

Today, the listening happened around a table. 🇦🇱

We were honoured to welcome a delegation from the European Baptist Federation to our Durrës centre, in the courtyard under the words 'Besim' and 'Shpresë' — faith and hope. They came with a simple purpose: to listen and learn from Albanians themselves about what shapes the decision to leave, to stay, or to return.

Migration is the story of almost every family in this country, and it runs through everything we do at Tek Ura. It's why Skills welcomes 32 refugee families into Albanian language groups, why Recovery walks alongside people into legal work, and why our church community keeps an open chair for whoever arrives next. But today wasn't about us presenting. It was about our neighbours speaking and Europe's Baptist family leaning in to hear them.

Faleminderit shumë to everyone who shared their story so openly, and to the EBF team for coming to listen first.

"Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak." — James 1:19

Këtë të diel, Hazel do të përshkojë 13.1 milje (21.1 km) nëpër rrugët e Londrës — dhe nuk do ta bëjë e vetme.
Hazel Fitch do të marrë pjesë në The Big Half si atlete me karrige me rrota, e shoqëruar gjatë gjithë rrugës nga Gary dhe Jen, ndërsa Doug dhe pjesa tjetër e ekipit do ta mbështesin nga turma. Ajo po e bën këtë për qendrën Tek Ura.

Pse? Me fjalët e saj:

“Si person me aftësi të kufizuara dhe si dikush që është rritur jashtë kujdesit familjar, e kuptoj se si është të rritesh pa sistemet e mbështetjes tek të cilat mbështeten shumë njerëz. E di çfarë do të thotë të luftosh për akses, për pavarësi dhe për mundësinë për të përparuar. Tek Ura qëndron pranë personave që shpesh injorohen.”
Dhe pikërisht për këtë do të shërbejnë kilometrat e saj. Çdo javë, klinikat tona të rehabilitimit në Tiranë dhe Durrës ofrojnë 100 orë shërbime klinike falas për 67 fëmijë dhe të rritur me aftësi të kufizuara — fizioterapi, terapi sensoriale dhe atë mbështetje individuale që mund ta ndihmojë një fëmijë të hedhë hapat e parë drejt integrimit në shkollë.
Synimi i Hazel është të mbledhë 5,000 £, dhe The Big Half është vetëm fillimi — tashmë janë në horizont edhe maratona të tjera.

“Ata që shpresojnë te Zoti do të ripërtërijnë forcën e tyre… do të vrapojnë dhe nuk do të lodhen.” — Isaia 40:31
Tre mënyra për të mbështetur ekipin Doug dhe Hazel:

This Sunday, Hazel will cover 13.1 miles through the streets of London — and she won’t be doing it alone.

Hazel Fitch is taking on The Big Half as an assisted wheelchair athlete, with Gary and Jen running alongside her and Doug and the crew cheering from the crowds. She’s doing it for Tek Ura.

Why? In her own words: “As a disabled person and a care leaver, I understand how it feels to grow up without the support systems many people rely on. I know what it means to fight for access, for independence, and for the chance to thrive. Tek Ura stands beside individuals who are often overlooked.”

That’s exactly what her miles will fund. Every week our rehab clinics in Tirana and Durrës give 100 free clinical hours to 67 disabled children and adults — physiotherapy, sensory therapy, and the kind of one-to-one support that helps a child take their first steps into mainstream school. Hazel’s target is £5,000, and The Big Half is just the beginning — more marathons are already on the horizon.

“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength… they will run and not grow weary.” — Isaiah 40:31

A shoemaker kept a hand-drawn map of the world above his bench.

William Carey, born 265 years ago in a Northamptonshire village, taught himself languages between jobs, waited seven years in India for the first baptism, and with his Serampore colleagues insisted from the start that the church would only grow ‘by means of native preachers.’

Schools, a college, a garden and a printing press followed, all held in common. His own word for it was ‘plod’

Ten years on in Tirana and Durrës, it’s Matilda, Juri, Xhina and the team who are living that out. Self-supporting, slow, holistic,

Albanian-led. Building bridges where God has already turned over the soil.

Ka një dhomë në Tiranë ku Bibla lexohet pa asnjë fjalë. 🌿

Gjethe palme dhe pëlhura që kalojnë dorë më dorë. Ujë që derdhet. Bukë që thyhet dhe preket. Dhe një grup njerëzish — shumë prej të cilëve nuk kanë folur kurrë dhe nuk do të flasin — e takojnë Jezusin përmes shqisave.

Në grupet tona të Tregimeve Biblike Shqisore, fëmijë dhe të rinj që nuk flasin po i mësojnë kishës si të lexojë Shkrimin.

“Njerëzit mendojnë se ne nuk po komunikojmë, por kjo ndodh se ata nuk po dëgjojnë.” — Mondi

Një nënë në kishën tonë në Tiranë thotë thjesht: “Djali im është i nevojshëm këtu.” Kur vjen momenti i kungimit, është ai që e kalon bukën. Kjo është “të përkasësh para se të besosh”, e bërë realitet — kisha mëson të pranojë njëri-tjetrin “ashtu si Krishti na pranoi ne” (Romakëve 15:7).

Dhjetë vjet më vonë, pastori ynë shqiptar e thotë më së miri: Mbretëria e Perëndisë është reale këtu — dhe flet shqip. Ne kemi zbuluar se ajo flet edhe me prekje.

Faleminderit shumë. 💛

Çfarë po mëson një kishë në Shqipëri për leximin e Biblës nga anëtarë që nuk thonë kurrë asnjë fjalë.

No lesson plan for this one. No music track cued. Just a circle that formed under the shade netting and wouldn’t stop turning.
This is what community looks like when it’s real — not staged for a camera, just people choosing joy together, even on the hard days.

Nobody planned this. 💃

The music came on. And then it just... happened.

One of the most beautiful things about camp this summer was the joy that broke out when nobody was expecting it. Not organised. Not on the agenda. Just genuine, uncontained happiness — from people who know what it is to carry serious burdens, and who found, in this community, a reason to dance.

“You turned my wailing into dancing; you clothed me with joy.” — Psalm 30:11
