Today was a wonderful example of how people from different backgrounds can come together to minister together. A group of us went to a retirement home here in Brno to put on a program to the elderly folks who stay there. Our Roma believer friends actually put the program together and invited me to come along and sing. A Czech brother preached, some of our Roma friends sang and a small group of young ladies put on an exhibition of traditional Roma dance. This was a very nice experience indeed! Below are some photos of the event.
