E. C. Tetovo
Evangelical Church – Tetovo officially began its ministry in November 2012. Jordan and Vesna Stoilov went as missionaries to Tetovo in 2009 with the aim of sharing the gospel among Albanians - Muslims. Since Tetovo has been a place of conflict, hurt and unforgiveness between the two largest ethnic groups, Macedonians and Albanians, they have it in their hearts to open a church, which they will call “Most”. The goal of “Most” is to create a place that will be pleasant for all people from all ethnic and religious backgrounds, where they can come and be accepted, a place where they can all build better interethnic and interfaith relations together on the basis of the gospel, forgiveness and faith in Jesus Christ! The church operates through Christian teaching, humanitarian activities and social events.
