Sajmir and Lije Farrici came to faith in 2000 in Burrel and were baptized in 2001.

They planted and led a church in Burrel from 2003 to 2011, also serving in Tirana. Currently Sajmir is the pastor of  “Guri Themelit” (Cornerstone) Church in Hamallaj, Durres.

In 2012, God called them to begin a new ministry in Hamallaj, starting with children’s outreach that opened doors to families and the wider community. Through relational discipleship, compassionate service, and faithful teaching, Guri Themelit Church has become a growing spiritual home bringing hope, transformation, and the light of Christ. Many families have come to know Jesus and experience His love, and the vision remains to reach every person with the gospel in Hamallaj and beyond.
