Romanian gypsies' revival stirs hope for change

Written by Admin 2 16 May 2013

Romania: The European Union has deported more than 1,000 gypsy people in recent weeks, and most are being sent back o Romania where they face a life of poverty and deprivation. But Christian groups are working to bring hope to Romania's gypsies. For many, it has led to a relationship with God. After years of mission work in Romania, Kevin Hoy realized gypsies have often struggled with advancing in Romanian society. In 2009, he witnessed what many call the ‘Toflea miracle,’ where 500 gypsies in southeast Romania were baptized after accepting Christ. It was the largest baptism in Romania's history.Hundreds more in Tileagd answered the call to Christ this year. Hoy prays revival will soon reach the residents of Salard as well. In the meantime, he and his team preach the gospel - without words.

Praise: God for His blessing on the gypsy peoples. (Ps.80:18)
