GGCCC 2021 November Newsletter

Through ministry collaboration with other missions organizations, Global Roma Symposium webinar was held on March 27, 2021.  The theme was “Vision? Action?”.  There were seven speakers sharing their visions in Roma ministry and three Roma pastors sharing on church planting, church program and theological education.

On September 18, 2021 brothers and sisters were gathered online to pray for Roma Ministry.  Pastor Radko Kratsov shared  the youth discipleship ministry in Bulgaria, and a short video on the overview of GGCCC Roma Ministry was showed.  The next Roma Prayer Fellowship will be on January 29, 2022 2pm EST with Pastor Janne Harjukoski, a board member of the Roma Networks from Finland as the speaker.

This summer partner with pastors in Balkans, GGCCC STM team members prepared an online training program for Roma youths in Serbia, North Macedonia and Romania whereas the youths gathered in camp sites or churches.  A total of 14 virtual training sessions were conducted reaching out to about 170 youths.  Training topics included worship; fellowship; prayer; reading & studying the Bible; and the good news.  The program has been well received.  Pray that the youths will continue to practice what they learned in the camps and grow spiritually.

 

In addition to financially supporting pastors & missionaries in Roma ministry in Albania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Romania and Serbia, GGCCC has also involved in the following 2 new projects.

New Church in Central Romania

Coroi in Central Romania is a mixed village with population of ~1,000.  More than 50 % are Roma.  It is fairly close to where Pastor Nelu lives, Bahnea.

A villager from Coroi asked a Roma Christian from a nearby village to pray for his sick mother with throat cancer in May this year.  This Christian in turn invited Pastor Nelu to come along to pray for the sick mother.  Soon a home group was formed in Coroi.  After visiting families for about a month, tent worship service was started in June.  Being the first church in the village many villagers are curious and they open their hearts to Jesus.  So far total of 11 villagers including the sick woman were baptized.  About 40 people regularly attend the Saturday services.

In August a new Christian offered to donate a piece of land for church building.  As an appreciation, Pastor Nelu paid him €1,000.  The building project was started so that the building could be completed before the winter.  To save money the building was built by team of volunteers from Pastor Nelu congregations.  The church concrete foundation was poured on August 30.  Then the walls were built, roof installed.  Soon after the ceiling was installed, walls were plastered, electricity was brought in, floor installed, and one heating stove with chimney installed. The church inauguration service was held on October 16, 2021 with more than 80 attendees including Christians from nearby villages, less than 6 months after the initial contact with villager in Coroi. Hallelujah! 

 

After School Program in Central Serbia

Krusevac population is about 120,000 with several Roma areas.  Pastor Miki and his team have already planted two home churches there.  There is a very poor area (Panjevac) with about 2,000 residences on the northwest outskirts of Krusevac.  Children there generally are forced to beg or expelled from school.  There is a great need to help children (age 7-13) to stay in school.  In 2019 with support from Netherlands Pastor Miki organized an after school program for 30-40 children once a week.  However, the program was stopped in 2020 due to lack of funding.

The Wednesday after school program was re-started on Oct 18, 2021 with financial support from GGCCC using a similar format.  Bible lesson follows by 1.5-2 hours of school work and a meal.  The program is held in a rented place located close to children’s homes.  The rented place could also be used for other special programs such as Christmas celebration.  This program will be reviewed in early 2022.

 

Please remember the Roma ministries in the Balkans in your prayers, especially for the Coroi church and the after school program in Krusevac so that they become a blessing to their community.  Please also pray for God’s mercy to heal the sick mother in Coroi; and our financial needs.

請為羅姆人禱告

郭施彼牧師

全能和滿有恩慈的上帝，我們奉主耶穌的名來到祢跟前為羅姆人祈求。祢知道這些祢所親愛的人所處的困境，他們正在不受歡迎、被人剝削和極為惡劣的環境中求生。感謝祢將福音傳給他們，賜給他們盼望和正面的認同。感謝祢在羅姆人社區和非羅姆人合作夥伴中興起日漸增多的領袖，引領人歸信耶穌，並在信心基礎上鞏固根基。我們為羅姆人的領袖祈求，願祢引導他們制定合適的策略去接觸更多的人，又給他們所需的資源去建立教會。我們也為目前正逐漸發旺的青年運動祈禱，願新一代被聖靈充滿的信徒使教會更有能力。又願祢興起工人/義工，在教育、衛生和發展健康社區各方面作出貢獻。感謝祢垂聽我們靠著耶穌的名的禱告。阿們！

Praying for the Roma

Rev. Grover Crosby

Almighty and Gracious God, we come to you in Jesus name on behalf of the Roma people (nation).  You know the plight of these dear people as they try to survive in an unwelcoming, deprived and hostile environment.  Thank you for the spread of the gospel among them, giving them hope and a positive identity.  Thank you for the growing number of leaders, both within their communities and non-Roma partners, being raised up to bring them to faith in Jesus, and ground them in their faith.  We pray for the Roma leaders.  Guide them as they develop strategies to reach their people, and provide the resources needed to establish churches among them.  We pray for the youth movements springing up presently.  We pray for a new generation of Spirit filled believers to empower the churches.  Raise up workers/volunteers who can help with education, health and the development of healthy communities.  Thank you for hearing our prayer in Jesus name. Amen!
