| FIELD TESTING
On our recent Roma Decade of the Book tour in Serbia, I was able to observe and interact with many Roma about their local dialects and the need for Bible translation. The language situation is extremely complex, but we are committed by God's grace to help Roma translate the Bible in every dialect which still needs it, making it available in the heart language of the people, even as it differs from city to city. As one Roma pastor told me, "I must be honest, my approach (to God) is better when I pray in my Roma language." He's also the one who said, "We Roma are cast out by the world, but not by God, and that gives me great joy!"

What a joy to see our seven Roma teammates ministering to other Roma on our Serbia tour for the Roma Decade of the Book. They led by inviting kids to the programs, preaching, doing crafts and acting out two dramas (one illustrating the story in Biljana's The Cat and the Custard book, and the other a somber drama called "Milena's Bible", about a crippled Roma girl, whose drunken father wants to sell her, yet whose life is transformed by the Bible, reading, and the sacrificial love of a social worker among the Roma). How exciting it is to see Roma ministering through their God-given gifts, and to see them trained to become writers, artists, musicians, film makers, poets, theologians and Bible translators.
