Unreached People
I really started becoming aware of gypsies, while in Russia. We would see them traveling by horses, pulling carts.
Where we were, there was a good chance, they were surviving by cutting wood and selling it. For some reason, my heart cries out for these unreached people.
Many of the problems that surround this group stem from many years of isolation and discrimation.
Gypsies came to Europe in the 14th century from India - they were the lowest cast there.
They live mostly in Eastern Europe today. Western European Gypsies were killed in gas chambers, together with Jews.
Although different
and I believe, misunderstood
... these people are simply... people. Unreached.
Today, my prayers are for God's children, the gypsies...
And the missionaries who are reaching these... unreached.
