Franklin Graham called on all Americans to devote Wednesday, January 14, to prayer and repentance. And although that day has already passed, the needs he speaks about in his appeal—and the need for repentance—remain. And this concerns not only English-speaking Christians and churches, but also us, immigrants from Slavic and European countries. Unfortunately, in our churches one can almost never hear calls to this kind of prayer. Yet it is time for us as well to join such prayers, understanding that we have made this country our own and are now responsible for its physical and spiritual condition—for the country in which, by our choice, our children and grandchildren will live.

Even making a simple paper craft is a novelty for them! Most of them have never done anything like this before. And as for the Christmas message, they had never heard it at all and did not know that it also applies to them. Watch the video story about how Christmas was celebrated this year at the Gypsies school and in their settlement—click this link. Read More …
