Yesterday, my husband and I, along with 15 members of our
missions team, attended the Gypsy church inside of the Point of Hope community.
The passion flowed through the room, and I was amazed at the hearts these
people have for Christ. While there is a language barrier, it was evident by
their actions and emotions that their faith didn't need to be vocally
understood to be felt and admired. I would love to see this kind of Christian
reliance and devotion in our churches back home! Witnessing the love in this
place will give your heart a whole new outlook on how you worship the Lord!

On sunday, my wife,
Allie, and I, along with 15 other people went to a gypsy church for the first
time. It was an experience that I will not soon forget. When we got there, I
wasn't sure what to expect. I knew it would be hot, crowded, and in a language that I don't understand. However when we got there I began noticing things about the
people I never would have guessed. The people were very enthusiastic, and it
was apparent that they loved Jesus. However, it was church as I had never
experienced before. Many people spoke, and many more sang. They had a testimony
time, where someone could stand up and share if they wanted to. They sang songs
and love to worship God. They are a people who are aware of their sin and are
broken for it. They want to go out in their community and share Jesus and they
are broken for their community. It was refreshing to see real brothers and
sisters in Christ that are walking with Christ and have a thirst for knowledge
of him. I am so thankful for the opportunity to go and worship with these
people.
Please be in prayer for our team as we continue to work alongside this community and build their faith. Also, stay tuned for more reflections from different team members!!
