Jesus said, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, batizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" Gospel of Matthew, chapter 28, 18-20.
It is good for all of us to realize how Christians live and work in other parts in the world. We are all partakers of the universal Body of Christ - and we contribute with what we have been given.
That means that we travel ourselves but we also bring people from our church and other churches so they can get to know the wider Body of Christi in the nations... and get trained in mission-activities and behaviour
 
Pictures from a gypsy village near Lazareni in Romania.
The village at Lazareni do not have running water. The water has to be carried about 2½ km from a well - which means cleanliness is something you are taught in school and in church...
The teachers and the ministry in the USA that is behind the school, paying the wages, has done and still does a remarkable work. It is a pleasure to be able to participate.
 
Another couple of pictures from Romania - as you may notice on the picture to the left: waiting is something we get used to. On the picture to the right we are in a remote gypsy village; there is no path to this village. We can only bring the car because the weather has been dry for a long time. Mishu, the guy in the orange T-shirt, is the pastor of the gypsy church in Lazareni.
And here a few shots from Sri Lanka, where we work among Tamil as well as Singhalese churches:

Pics from meetings in the jungle area. People would walk for days to get to hear the good news about Jesus Christ and to experience His power though healing and deliverance
