Georgian & Winnie Banov - Bucharest, Romania - Party with the Gypsies '07
Yesterday, Georgian and Winnie and our beloved Gypsy pastors Mitko from Kazanlak and Peter from Varna spent the day in Bucharest so that they could buy all of the materials for our celebratory meal: Corban (a Gypsy favorite, it is sort of a fat lamb soup) which is always served with fresh bread. They also bought fresh watermelons for dessert.
See how they made little "table cloths" out of newspaper?! Their tables and benches are made out of anything that they could find. And yet, no matter how poor they are, they wanted to share it with us. Mariana handed out chunks of bread and watermelon to each of us, and it was an honor to share this meal with them.
For the last 6 years now, Georgian and Winnie Banov of Global Celebration have been bringing teams of radical Jesus-loving missionaries to Eastern Europe to "Party with the Gypsies."
The Lord has done so many marvelous things, and the testimonies are endless. The lives of the Gypsies and their communities have been radically changed and consumed with Christ. Through our years of prayers and hugs, they are receiving Jesus and we are witnessing changed lives. Hated and rejected by the world, they have found love and acceptance in the sweet embrace of Christ.
