Credit Crisis--A Moldovan Response


What's a good response to the credit crisis? Move to find work? Well, that's what a lot of the Romany in Vulcanesti, Moldova did. Pastor Petru Ciochina wrote, "Because of the crisis that persists in the country, majority of members were forced to go abroad in Russia and other countries."
Result? "Their departure had to raise discouragement other members."
Response? "Therefore we chose to strengthen fellowship among members. Putting me task to encourage like that Acts 2 says '. . . they devoted themselves to fellowship . . . they were together in one place . . . and taking food (together).'
They meet together one evening a week in different homes. They read the Bible, study the theme "importance of attitude in our lives," share food, and sing.
Some suggest that the credit crisis is the symptom of a moral and spiritual crisis. If so, then perhaps this spiritual, morale, and material response is one of the best?
