Dear Friends
Thank you to so many of your for your support – whether encouragement for our September trips,
prayers for safety and for our work, or monthly giving. We very much appreciate your kindness.
Our trips to Reghin in September went well and we have had encouraging feedback and those who
joined us are keen to go again next September which is great to hear.
The plan was to prepare two sets of foundations for new one room homes for Roma families in
particular need of a safe place to live giving them protection from worst of the harsh winter.
Things didn’t work out quite like that as the first set of foundations took much longer than expected.
Also, the land for the second planned home was delayed. However, God was in control and the first
set of foundations were completed by our second week and the home completed by teams from the
Netherlands & Germany – an international team effort! A home became available ready for the
second family so they had a home ready for them much sooner than expected!
It was good to see our friends at Phoneo again and to discuss their projects supporting the Roma
communities and how we can continue to work with them. Another highlight was the Roma church
service when it was so encouraging to see 6 men from the Roma communities ask for prayer. What
a difference they growing faith in Jesus will make to their families and those they meet!
Please do ask Caitlin, Perry, Peter, Jenny, Oliver, Dan or Walt about their recent trip and they’ll be
happy to tell you about it. We have already had enquiries about future trips and we’ll share dates
when we have them.
Please pray for:
• Give thanks that the trips in September were successful, the teams worked well together and
that everyone stayed healthy and had a great time.
• For the Roma men who asked for prayer that they will make good decisions and be a positive
witness to their families and communities and encourage others to know more about Jesus.
• For protection over the Roma communities that they will stay safe and well in the harsh winter.
• For our mission partners Phoneo that they will continue to know God’s guidance and carry out
His work amongst the Roma communities.
Thank you and God bless
