Hope and help for Ukrainian Roma

The need for healing and hope is huge in Ukraine. So TWR Ukraine, Trans World Radio’s (TWR) local partner, has been producing new content which is not only reaching Ukrainians but also the nation’s traditional Roma, or Romany, communities.

Around 200,000 to 300,000 Roma live in Ukraine; thousands are committed Christians. Despite their challenging and often poor circumstances, many enjoy using modern technology, giving TWR Ukraine a variety of ways to reach them.

But that is not necessarily straightforward, because they may feel threatened by a non-Roma person’s interest in their language and culture. So the best means of sharing the gospel with them often lies within the community, letting local Roma believers tell their own stories of how the Lord has changed their lives.
