Sean and Vita

Sean graduated from Life Pacific College in 2001, and afterwards joined FMI Missionaries Chris and Laura Dakas in Albania serving at the Stephen Center in various capacities.

In March 2006, Sean moved from the busy capital city to Korce, a town surrounded by the mountains close to the Greek border, to lead a family sponsor project. Later in 2007 he took over the leadership of the local Foursquare church.

Born and raised in Lithuania, Vita has been working as a freelance translator after earning a B.A. and M.A. degrees in language and communication studies. In pursuit of a more meaningful occupation, Vita joined the global charity Mercy Ships in 2004. Initial 3 months of commitment extended to two years of ministry in West Africa – Sierra Leone, Benin, and Liberia – working with various community development programmes. In 2007, Vita volunteered for several months with an NGO in Thailand, working with Burmese migrants.

Sean and Vita got married in Oregon in June 2008, and returned to carry on the ministry in Albania. They will continue pastoring the church in Korce, as well as assisting the Dakas’ at The Stephen Center.
