GDQ International Christian School
GDQ school empowers families serving cross culturally to stay on the field by meeting the educational needs of their children.
GDQ International Christian School in Albania advances the Great Commission by providing transformational education to the children of cross-cultural workers. When families know their children are receiving an excellent, Christ-centered education, they can focus on the ministries to which they have been called.
Albania is predominantly Muslim, with less than 1% evangelical Christians. GDQ is a key ministry partner for worker families representing 22 countries and serving alongside 44-plus ministries across the Balkan region.
The heart of the school’s mission is to raise up the next generation of global leaders through high-quality education, spiritual growth and development, and to be an intentional light by sharing the love of Jesus through student-led outreach to the community.
GDQ International Christian School is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and is a Family School of TeachBeyond. It is also the only accredited Christian school in the entire Balkan region.
Your gift to GDQ International Christian School will have an eternal impact, both on the next generation of believers and on the communities where their families can serve.

By Giving:
- Classroom supplies—from markers and crayons ($5) to PE equipment like soccer balls ($15) to textbooks ($40) and new computers ($500)—equip the school so students thrive in learning.
- A full-year tuition scholarship for one child costs $6,000. For a family that might otherwise have to leave the field, this changes everything.
- GDQ is in the midst of a historic capital campaign to purchase a permanent home for the school. This represents an opportunity to establish a permanent anchor of Christian influence in Albania. The goal is $5.2 million. For more information, visit the GDQ website.

- Ask for wisdom and unity for GDQ's leadership, board and staff.
- Pray for spiritual growth and academic development for GDQ's 140 students.
- Pray that the families GDQ serves will be encouraged and faithful in their gospel work.
- Pray that because of the ministry of GDQ, the gospel will spread across Albania and all of the Balkans. Ask God to continue to lead GDQ staff as they minister to their community for His glory.
