Last year the newly established Roma (Gypsy) Church in Nove Mesto did an outreach to a Roma community in Rychnov nad Kneznou at the request of the local pastor, our friend, Martin Vlasak. (This is a 3 hour drive)  From the fruit of last year's outreach Martin was able to start a home group in the Roma community that met weekly for a year.  The Roma Church from Nove Mesto did another outreach this year and four Roma believers were baptized.  We can hardly wait to see what fruit will come from this year's outreach.  There was music, dancing, testimonies, prayer and baptisms.  The home group were gracious hosts and served us wonderful food throughout the day.  We are grateful and humbled by their generosity.

The Nove Mesto Roma reached out to the Roma in Rychnov nad Kneznou, setting up a covering for the musicians and a sound table in the courtyard between two apartment buildings.

 There was lively music and dancing.  

 These two pastors give a new meaning to "hanging out" as they talk to the occupants of this apartment.  

 Testimonies by the 4 people who wanted to be baptized

 And always prayer for whoever wanted it
