“God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. –Psalms 68:6
Life is often transient among the Kalderash Romani people, and many face social exclusion and economic hardship. The pastor's testimony we will share highlights how the gospel provides not only hope but also practical support in overcoming these challenges. For centuries, the Kalderash have been marginalized, yet the good news of Jesus offers them belonging and a new identity in Christ. Today, we celebrate how God’s Word is bringing them into His spiritual family, providing love and a sense of belonging.
The Kalderash Romani, historically known for their metalworking skills, are spread across Eastern Europe. Despite their rich cultural heritage, they face significant challenges such as prejudice and limited access to formal education or stable employment. This makes programs like THRU the BIBLE vital, as they effectively leverage oral traditions to equip both pastors and laypeople with a deeper understanding of God’s Word.
A powerful story from a Kalderash pastor:
“Thank you for helping me to serve my Church. Your programs are an inspiration to me. Because I have to work and pastor at the same time, I do not have much time to prepare for my sermons. This is where TTB helps me a lot as Dr. McGee comments clearly on the Bible. It is a blessing to have these programs in our language.”
This pastor’s story showcases how TTB’s clear and accessible teachings directly address the unique needs of Kalderash believers, inspiring the local team to continue their vital work. Just one soul won for the kingdom of heaven is worth a great celebration. To God be the glory!
Today, let’s thank God for this pastor’s story and for being the Father who places the lonely in families. Let’s pray for many more Kalderash Romani to hear and embrace the gospel, becoming part of God’s spiritual family. May His Word continue to uplift and inspire these communities.
Prayer Points:
- Thank God for faithful listeners like this pastor who are responding to His call.
- Pray for pastors and churches in Kalderash-speaking regions to have the resources they need for effective discipleship.
- Pray for the young generation of Kalderash Romani to rise up with greater access to God’s Word in their language.
