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.

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.

Albania, Our New Home

As our airplane descended into the Tirana airport, we already noticed a contrast. On our left, rugged snow-covered mountain peaks rose above our flight path. But the view out the right windows seemed to belong to a different country—flat checkerboard farmland dotted with clay-tiled roofs.
