Luton Roma Church is Born!

Pastor Stevo & I pray for the Luton Roma
This evening 25 Luton Roma were joined by 20 Roma from London Gypsy Church and 10 non-Roma from Luton in Oakdale Methodist Church.  Having shared a meal, Pastor Stevo's amazing team led us in worship.  It was wonderful to have them with us at the launch of Luton Roma Church.  "Seek first the Kingdom of God" and life in abundance will flow from that.  The powerful sounds of our worship flowed out the broken window of the church as the call from the local Minaret was declining.  A new church has sprung to live in the heart of Islamic Luton.  It's members?  The poorest of the poor of bottom of the heap Luton.  On the brink of eviction, a Roma widow received her pin number for a post office account.  Will the benefits come in time?  If they come at all it will be a miracle.  "Blessed are the poor, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven".  Indeed, as  pastor Stevo reminded us, wealth does not promise peace of heart or absence of cares.  This week we were all blessed by bi-lingual preaching.  Next week I'll have to keep the show on the road!  Stevo's London team will lead us every fortnight.  Every Wednesday there will be Food/English lessons/Worship.  Holistic mission proceeds from a desire to bless every area of life.  Heaven and earth kiss when we see the Kingdom advance....
