Sean & Brenda Mays

Career Missionaries since 2006, serving the Shqiptaret Muslims of Albania.

Sean and Brenda met at a U.S. Air Force base in Germany and were married two years later. They became Seventh-day Adventist Christians six years after that. Missions was on their hearts from the start. Evenings with their two daughters were often spent reading mission stories aloud.

Sean and Brenda and their daughters Megan and Moriah were called to Albania individually and together through a series of providential events. They all prayed for the people of Albania for over two years before they moved there with AFM to serve the people God had placed on their hearts.

Sean and Brenda have enjoyed serving the Albanian people since early 2006 and have been blessed to be part of a growing fellowship of Adventist believers in an area where there were none before. Additionally, they serve as AFM field directors for the Balkans, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

It was the kind of day that made me wonder how God would fulfill His word in Romans 8:28 and work everything out. “This must be some kind of character-building thing I’ll appreciate later,” I guessed.

It all began at 5 a.m. with a three-hour bus ride to the capitol for some early appointments.

Teaching the Eagle to Fly

“Why are you here? What are you doing here? Why would you leave America to live here?” It seems nearly impossible for the Albanians we meet to wrap their minds around the thought that we voluntarily left the land of their fondest dreams

Duam Drita

The old adage says, “Be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it.” The lesson is clear—we don’t always have the wisdom to know what we really need.

Oops!

For example, not long ago, my sister and I went shopping together. First, we went to a shop to get bread. The owner of the shop came over and asked in Albanian what I wanted.

Footprints of the Enemy

It’s no surprise to find the footprints of the enemy in Albania. Sadly, his efforts to kill, steal, and destroy the Albanian people are all too evident. However, we’ve also seen the hand of God, who seeks to save, heal, and restore His Albanian children.
