THE GYPSY CHURCH IN NOVE MESTO BECOMES AN OFFICALLY RECOGNIZED INDEPENDENT CONGREGATION

As many of you know, we love to serve they gypsy community. For this blog we would like to bring you up to date on some exciting events that have been happening in Czech among our gypsy friends.

After years of tears, trials and errors, and much prayer, the first Moravian Gypsy Church was officially recognized as an independent congregation in January 2012. They meet on Sunday afternoon in the Nove Mesto Church building. Bishop Evald Rucky and the pastor and trainer for the gypsy church, Martin Bukovsky, consecrated the new pastor, Petr Jersak. Back in 1999 Petr was one of our Bible School students who took Ken's cross cultural and evangelism classes. We are so blessed to see how God has continued to fill his heart with love and ministry to the gypsy community.
