the romas

"Your way went through the sea, 

and Your path through

  the great waters,

but Your footprints were unseen." 

Psalm 77:19

Unseen footprints...ammmmmazing! God ceases to amaze me in His splendor, majestic-ness [yes, a made up word], and His control over everything.  Since I enjoy/love the outdoors and the adventures they ensue, I am drawn to Scripture that involves creation and how God has His hand over it all. Thus, another...about the creation He formed:

"For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God's sons to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to futility--not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it--in the hope that creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious freedom of God's children." Romans 8:19-21

To the human eye, it seems as though not many in this gorgeous city are eagerly waiting for anything spiritually speaking. Less than two percent (2%) are born again believers. Their bondage to 'religion' and cultural norms is crazy! More so, the Roma [who I mentioned in my first post] are not being reached at all. They are completely outcasted from society.  Everyday, the children can be seen walking around town, or the men and young boys driving their horse-drawn buggies to dig in trash.  You would look at them and your heart would break for these little children walking around in used clothes that don't really fit...however, there is more to the story. The Roma children are pawns in the chess game. The children walk around begging people for money only to give the money to the 'king' or ring leader.  Some of my friends told me that supposedly there are like Roma mansions for the leaders since they receive everything from all the pawns, knights, bishops, and rooks. Each of them is God's creation and are in bondage to sin and God desires for them to claim Him.

We hope to go to the Roma half-way house..a ministry to meet the needs of the Roma children. 

But please be in prayer for these people..we don't personally minister to them on a daily basis..but they still deserve your prayers so that they can one day hear the Gospel and proclaim Him as the Most High God.
