Monday

Today, Attila, Bonnie, Floyd, and Josica (a builder from the Peris church traveled to Sibiu to meet with the owner of the property that is used for the Gypsy Children's summer camps. Mimi is a pastor's wife with a great vision for reaching others in Jesus Christ especially ministry to children and family. The past two years she has made property available for the children's camps. The Lord truly blessed us with our trip as we talked about the future. We were excited by her vision and continued openness to the Gypsy Children's Camp. If you are interested in being a part next year, please let us know. We may need a construction group as well as the usual need for summer camp help.

When we returned we had a great visit with our great friends the Kalanyos family: Istvan, Dora, Lala, Ester, Ishti, zozo, and Dora's mother. Bonnie and I had the privilege of participating in Ester and Lala's wedding last year. They are expecting anytime this year. A Monday night Roma (Gypsy) worship takes place in their home (actually it is Lala and Ester's part of the house). They served us a great meal--Istvan really does a great job preparing any kind of meat. Dora makes really great desserts. We had our first cabbage rolls of the trip. I, Floyd, love these.

The worship is always so enthusiastic and enjoyable. You could feel so strong tonight the presence of God's Spirit among us. The prayer time was a special time.

After the worship, one of the new Gypsy believers, Eddie, asked for special prayer. His wife miscarried with their first child. She is not a believer and this is a big struggle for them. We prayed with them and ask your prayers for them.
