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.

Frontier Stories

The Critical Task

I have to admit it: I had been pretty proud of myself. The power was out, which is nothing new, and I was in our darkened kitchen laboring to prepare a wholesome breakfast for my family.

The Wedding

The bridegroom is coming! The bridegroom is coming! My horn sounded joyful with the announcement. People of all ages ran excitedly from their homes, waving and smiling.

Bana

Allow me to introduce Bana, one of our young Albanian friends. She is a very busy dentist in our city, yet she somehow manages to find time for a visit now and then.

Of Friends and Farms

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
