B4L ministry with gypsies

As it was promised here I am with some report on the ministry among the gypsy people in Ercsi. It happened in August. We had an enthusiastic Swiss team as guests to do most of the ministry. They did some physical work in two or three days, then we took the Bus on the last 4 evenings to the place. Every time about a hundred children and adults too gathered around the vehicle. We played with them, the Swiss youth taught some crafts for them, then they shared testimonies and somebody from the OM side gave a short message.
It is a very difficult area to do any ministry. It's a real slum area. The people there live in a totally different world and they are hard to discipline in any way. So we had interruptions, fightings in the background, complaining neighbors for their ruined fence, etc. But I believe God wants us to help the ministry with this people. Where did Jesus go anyway? Not to the despised, outcasts?
Thanks to God for some brothers who come regularly from Sweden, who are also from gypsy background. They have a great impact on the community here.
Please pray together for this ministry.
Also we will have another Swiss team in next month working on other things in another area.
