Serbia
The Romani people (who have historically referred to themselves as gypsies) are experiencing today a widespread move of the Holy Spirit.
Romani people continue to experience their historic prejudicial treatment at the hands of many people from several European nations. Despite these ongoing trials, the born-again Serbian Romani churches are dramatically growing in numbers, spiritual depth, and a determination to identify with Jesus and follow Him closely.
Empower Ministries has aligned itself with a cluster of 20 Roma churches in the Leskovac region. The central Romani church congregation currently numbers over 700 with hundreds of children and youth attending, as well. It is the largest evangelical group in the country presently. Water baptisms are regularly celebrated in the churches with hundreds being baptized annually. Bible studies and Christian gatherings for children and youth are regularly held with extremely large numbers attending and being discipled in their faith.
