Agustin and Enrieta Prenga

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus!

We are Agustin and Enrieta, serving Jesus with Agape, Cru in Europe residing in Bologna, Italy.

Gusti was raised in a Catholic family and Jeta was raised in a nominally Muslim family during the time when Albania was still under Communism. Gusti came to Christ during his first year in college (01/02) during an outreach from Cru staff and volunteers for freshmen at the University of Shkodra. He volunteered the next three years with the movement, and after graduation, took the time to pursue a law career. After a gap year from 2005 to 2006, Gusti was convinced by the Scripture (Luke 24:25-35) that God wanted him to use his gifts for full-time ministry.

Jeta came to Christ during high school through a classmate who shared the gospel with her. Prior to that Jeta had several encounters with the evangelists from the Muslim faith, Catholics, and Jehovah's Witness as she was seeking the Truth. During her college years, she was involved as a volunteer with Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru). She graduated with a degree in Physics in 2006. Since her freshman year, Jeta has had a clear call to serve as a missionary.

We married in August 2006 and joined Cru full time in the same year.

We have three children: Gabriel 16, Patrik 14, and Amelia 10.

For 18 years we have served with college students in various leadership roles mainly in Albania, Budapest Hungary and lately in Bologna, Italy. Previously in Albania we were involved with our local church, Guri Themelit, where Gusti was an elder and preached from time to time. Jeta was involved in women's ministry and we both mentored several young couples.

Our current roles in the ministry

In Europe, there are 51 countries. Cru (called Agape here) has a presence in 41 of them.

Gusti- Europe Regional Agape (Cru) Leadership Team

Gusti works with a team of regional leaders and oversees the ministries in Italy, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Belarus, and Georgia. He focuses on supporting these ministries in building sustainable local movements, effectively helping fulfill the Great Commission.Additionally, he coaches campus ministry leaders in France, Albania, Kosovo, Romania, and Finland.

Jeta-Bologna campus ministry

Bologna University, founded in 1088, is one of the oldest in Europe and has around 85,000 students. Bologna is highly liberal and diverse, as students from around the world come to study here. Also, born-again Christians are few, and the existing local churches mainly depend on help from outside Italy.Jeta is part of a team of 6 US missionaries. We partner closely with a local Italian church called “Forte Torre.”
