A Gypsy Gathering

This month, Andy Brockbank, the Executive Director of Project Ruth, Wayne Unger, pastor of Grace Community Christian Church, and I (Wes) visited Sighisoara for a weekend. On Sunday, we attended an all day worship gathering of Gypsy churches. All three Gypsy churches in attendence were planted by a small Romanian Baptist church which has come to understand their missional calling to Gypsies. What really encouraged me was their desire to encourage and equip Gypsy leadership within these churches and the opporunity we have to help in this endeavor. Hopefully, this January we'll be receiving four students from these churches. You can read more about this in our December newsletter. For now, here are some pictures!
