Through the leadership of Chris and Laura Dakas and co-director Josif Paparisto, the Stephen Center has developed into much more than just a coffee shop. The restaurant has expanded, and now fully caters to any event, from large embassy parties and government meetings to small family parties. The Stephen Center also houses Albania's first ever Christian book store, providing much needed resources for the Christian community. Our newly renovated, six-room Bed and Breakfast is located on the second floor. It has always been loved by missionaries passing through Tirane, missions teams, and Christian business men and women needing a nice place to stay. It is reasonably priced and provides a wonderful, Christian environment. Our missions office, which manages the day-to-day operations of the restaurant, bookshop, and all other ministry activities under the covering of the Stephen Center, is also upstairs.
