The temperatures in Hungary have dipped into the teen numbers on the Fahrenheit scale. It's frigid cold! Considering many Roma do not have adequate clothing or warm shoes, it would be understandable if church attendance dropped off on these cold, wintry evenings. This is not the case in Berencs! This past Sunday there was not an open seat, in fact the latecomers had to stand. As the fire in the wood stove slowly burned out and we began to see our breath in the icy air, the singing became livelier, more joyous in sound, and the amens rang out. The temps may have been cold, but the Roma believers in Berencs were warm in their praise.
