I am in Romania working with Gypsies. The ministry is called Gypsy Agape, or something. I dont really know. Pretty much it works like this….Become a Gypsy
We are in a small village near Count Dracula’s Castle. Our 1st day we were here the men (Team HBz, Crux, and Fuse) were recruited to gather firewood. We climbed to the backside of a mountain to get to the forest. Then we searched the woods to find a tree that had fallen down. It is illegal to cut down trees. Then each man (and two tough women) carried a large truck of a tree back down the mountain. So welcome to Gypsy Land
The ministry here is awesome. Our contact John sat us down our first morning and asked everyone what they wanted to do. “Work with Old people” “Disciple the Youth” “Teach English” etc etc etc. We set up some Bible Study times, and times to teach English. The rest of our time, we walk through the village, help 200 year old Babushkas clean out their gutters, play soccer, make crafts with kids.
God is teaching me this month to remove the Ministry “Switch”. The temptation we all have to go to ministry, turn God on, and then turn it all off when we go back home. This month I am learning how talking to my neighbors on the way home to dinner, or spending an extra minute in the local convinience store, or carrying the groceries for the grandma next door is ministry. Everyone in this village knows we are Christians, and now we just live a life of love.
