At the most basic level, Albania lacks the social services infrastructure necessary to house and care for girls rescued from abuse.

6431-905-The Parchment Project

WHAT IS THE PARCHMENT PROJECT? The Parchment Project (TPP) introduced its unique 2-page layout to WorldVenture in 2014. The panoramic view of the text enhances personal engagement with the Scriptures. As a result, reading entire letters on 2 facing pages becomes inviting, rather than overwhelming. The ten longer books of the New Testament benefit from the same layout. Consequently, readers work through these lengthy books in bite-size pieces because their major sections fit on 2-pages or less. In the blink of an eye, readers analyze parts and synthesize the whole with greater agility. • TPP's New Testament Study Bible features:…
