Our Church is pleased to support CBF Global Missions in moments like these where bearing witness to Jesus Christ takes place through Roma Day.
"International Roma Day was April 8, and it was observed and celebrated in different ways throughout the world. This year we were invited to attend a performance at the Galakticka School in Kosice, held in celebration of Roma Day. It's a joy to see these kids, whom we work with each week, feel pride in their culture, and in showing off their talents! Join us in giving thanks for these students, and the bright future they represent for the Roma people to the world." - Jon and Tanya Parks, CBF field personnel in Kosice, Slovakia
