Searching for a Home

Many people from the Republic of Moldova, 

including our Roma brothers and sisters, 

must go abroad to find work. 

A number of Roma from the village of Vulcanesti 

have found work in the greenhouses in North Holland. 

Their first employer provided housing in temporary trailer houses.

More than one family shared a trailer house. This visit (ca 2018) began with food and moved to impromptu worship.

Then their employer provided a large house . . . where they all shared the kitchen and dining/living room area with each other AND with Polish workers.

This visit (ca 2019) also included a feast for the body and the soul. 

Next, the workers began renting houses on their own. 

And now a number of them are buying  homes in North Holland. 

(This photo is from a visit in 2023, hosted by one of the Roma families in their very own backyard.)  

This permanence has led to the desire for a more permanent spiritual home as well. 

They are prayerfully looking for a worship space to rent somewhere central to the towns in North Holland where they now live and work. 

Pray with us for the Spirit to lead them in the direction God has planned for them to go.
(And pray that we may soon be able to visit them again!)
