Arjan & Mimoza Larashi

Serving at Freedom in Christ Ministries International in Albania

Arjan Larashi has been a Supported Partner and dear friend of Alongside Ministries for many years. For 23 fruitful years he served the Bilisht church as its first pastor, with a strong track record in evangelism, youth ministries and leadership development. Under Arjan’s leadership the Bilisht church undertook church planting efforts in neighboring villages and across the border in Macedonia and Greece.

Arjan is a published author whose books have been widely appreciated in Albania. His book, Arrest Me, I Killed Someone! tells the story of a man who got away with murder and subsequently came to faith in Christ, then turned himself into the authorities. 

In 2017 Arjan responded to a call from God to change his ministry focus, left the Bilisht church and moved to the city of Korca. He now works across Albania to offer in-depth training and discipleship to pastors and Christian Leaders in partnership with Freedom In Christ Ministries International. Arjan’s wife Mimosa teaches school and the pair continue to make a dynamic ministry team. The Larashis have two daughters.
