Eastern European Gypsy Ministries
Several years ago God
caused my path to cross that of BMFP Missionaries Walter
& Dolly Stevens. This dear couple are American Gypsies
who are reaching the Gypsy people of Eastern Europe.
Since our meeting God has burdened my heart to partner
with them in their labors.
In November of 2006
organized classes began at the Eastern European Gypsy
Bible Institute (EEGBI). This institute is designed
as a three-year Bible program, focused on training Gypsy
men to reach Gypsy villages in church planting efforts.
In November of 2009
we graduated our first class of five Gypsey men. These
men, under the leadership of their pastor, Ghitsa Fekete,
have already established a church in a nearby village.
We are now working with our second group of Gypsy men,
preparing them for the work of the ministry.
This February, I will
be making my ninth trip to teach in the Institute. I
am thrilled at what God has already done with this "Forgotten"
people group and am looking forward to seeing what He
will yet do in the future.
