Elidion & Gail Lilo
Serving in Bilisht, Albania
Leading and Equipping in Bilisht, Albania
Doni and Gail serve alongside the Bilisht Evangelical Church in both leadership and solidarity. In 2018 Doni was called by the church out of a lifetime of ministry in nearby Erseka to serve as the Bilisht pastor. As the only evangelical presence in a town of 12, 000 and surrounding agricultural area of 44 villages, the church has a heartbeat for authentic worship, holistic evangelism, and relational discipleship.
Doni offers equipping and visionary leadership to the church, grounding her in Scripture and challenging believers to live zealously for Jesus. Gail contributes in the areas of worship arts, women’s and children’s discipleship, co-journeying with moms, and ministry with the marginalized. They serve with a talented and committed team of both foreigners and Albanians. Doni and Gail have 5 fantastic kids: Koreta, Arbër, Tereza, Elira, and Ksenia.
