The Dutch Connection

Making connections is one of the things I love doing in our role as resource coordinators for the Romany Team. This past Sunday, a member of our church here in the Netherlands told us of a successful connection. A couple of months ago I passed on to Teun van de Leer a request from Ralph Stocks for teachers during sessions of the Gypsy Smith Training School. Teun, who currently serves as rechtor for the Dutch Baptist Seminary, was interested. He and Ralph corresponded. In October, he and another professor from the seminary will go to Bucharest to teach that session. If things work out well, every October a student and a professor will be going. This will help train Romany church leaders--and Dutch ones.
