Greetings from Greece and thank you again for supporting the work at the gypsy camp and me being able to be part of it.

 

I really appreciate it and feel blessed to do the things for the Lord and for Roma people having your support in it. God bless you hundred times.

 

Here is our news. Many changes are taking place at the camp. It is good to work as a team, being different and sharing many different gifting God gave to each one of us.

 

There is real progress in the spirit and worship at the Gypsy camp, new people are coming to Christ. Sook Hee and Revekka are helping a lot with that. Gypsy young man Orestis, who didn't know anything about piano, has learned to play in a year and is composing new songs in Roma language. Step by step they learn to do things by themselves and taking more responsibility in worship and sharing good news with others. It makes us feel good when people are discipled and released in God's calling and enable us go to others who haven't been reach yet. We haven't reach this place but are moving forward. 

 

We do classes with children twice a week. First we start with preschoolers at 10 till 12.30. It is getting better and better. Kids become more obedient, learn to love and respect. We can leave even things in the church and they don't steal them. They love worshiping the Lord and prefer to sing worship songs instead of children's songs. Every child has a folder with his name and picture on it, where he keeps his works and crafts. We have helpers who wear red scarfs and they help during the class and after the class put things in order. At the end of the year we plan to do a special celebration for kids and their parents. Children will perform and show what they have learn during the year.

 

For someone those things might sound not very special and small but when you see the environment and condition how it was before, how children were behaving before and now it makes your heart rejoice and give glory to God for the changes and progress in their lifes. There are teachers from public school who are coming and help kids with home work. What they have noticed that people and kids from this camp are so good in comparison with other gypsy camps. We tell them that it is because people such as Kim and Sook Hee were the one who started working with this people, sharing God's love and good news and that's why gypsies from this camp behave different, because of God's life and presence in their lives. Praise to God!!!.

 

Then from 1 till 3 o'clock we have activities with older children. Bible class, crafts and worship dance class with girls. It has been a second year since kids have started going to school. We try to encourage them and build their confidence in what they do and who they are in any possible ways, through fellowship, spending time together, sharing God's truth, praying together, playing. It is their first steps and for me those kids are heroes in many ways. It is really not an easy thing to go to school not having clean clothes or shoes to wear, food to take with you, facing other kids making fun of you. Then coming back home and not having enough food, bath, clothes, parenting, calm place just to rest, person to whom you can talk. But I strongly believe that with God's help some of them will have a great future and God choose poor and week, neglected people to reveal His glory and majesty upon them.

 

 Then one day a week we go together with Sook Hee, Kim and Rebekka to visit some Albanian gypsies families. We do meetings at their houses worship and bible studding. We plant the seeds and pray God to water and bring fruits in their lives. Please pray with us for those people and work among gypsies in Greece, for God to raise disciples among them and revive them.

 

Thank you very much for all your prayers and help for those people.
