Pa’s Role In
Underground Railroad
Pennsylvania played a crucial
role in the flight to freedom for
many fugitive slaves who had
escaped from the south. Nearby
Columbia and Wrightsville and
other towns along the Susquehan
na River were stops on one of the
many routes used by escaped
slaves whose ultimate destination
was Canada which had outlawed
slavery in the early 1800’s. Dr.
Leroy T. Hopkins discusses the

Fellowship Of
Christian Farmers
Help Albanians
TRUMANSBURG. N.Y. George and Julie Holmes
of 3220 Jacksonville Road, Trumansburg, jusl returned
from a two-week work crusade with Fellowship of Christ
ian Fanners, Int. to Albania. They worked through, Hope
for the World Missions in Albania.
Albania has been closed-to missions work for more than
40 years. The former dictator named Hoxha turned the
country to Communism. It was known as the only totally
atheistic country in the world.
Hoxha convinced the people that the United States peo
ple were coming to “eat” the people of Albania. That is
why there are spears on the grape arbor poles and as many
as 700,000 bunkers throughout the country of Albania.
Hoxha told the Albanian people that they were the “salt of
the earth.” When they found out the truth—that they were
really behind the rest of the world it broke there moral
and the people destroyed all factories and industry
because the Albanians didn’t want communism to come
back.
Albania now has a two-party democracy that is two
years old. The country is struggling under the Presidency
of Sali Brishnee. It is battling with 70% unemployment
and a yearly income of $250 per person.
George and Julie working with Hope for the World
Mission, remodeled a Deaf School with more than 278
children. The group of eight fanners and two wives were
from all over the USA. They sparkled, painted, replaced
windows and window panes, doors and did kitchen repairs
and played with the children.
The group also traveled to small farming villages acces
sible by foot or helicopter. They delivered much needed
seed com and a variety of vegetable seeds. They got to see
on the farm practices. Their much needed irrigation sys
tem is needing repairs. They endure 100 degree summer
temperatures with little rain on heavy clay soil. The group
also encouraged the farmers and shared the Word of God
with the people.
Even with mild 50-degree days, children have a hard
time attending school. The schools have missing win
dows. no books, no heat, no lunches, and no bathroom
facilities for the students. Many walk one to three hours to
attend school. Children are required to attend school, but
some lack shoes, pencils, and paper and as a result don t
attend.
Holmes’ found the Albanian people very hospitable.
They are eager to receive Bibles, and leam about the Word
of God.
