Help us support the Project Ruth, offering improved life chances through education for poor children, particularly from Roma (Gypsy) communities.

From the Stocks:
Greetings from the Stocks family in Budapest, Hungary! As members of College Park Baptist Church our commute is a little long and infrequent! We are glad to represent the church here in eastern Europe and especially in ministry to the Romany (Gypsies).

We arrived in Hungary in February of 1995 and settled into the village of Derecske. Amy and Joshua attended Hungarian schooling and quickly learned the language. Ralph and Tammy attended language training courses through the University of Debrecen. We quickly settled into the Baptist church in the village and began plugging into it's ministry.

An evangelistic outreach to the village of Pocsaj (Po-choy) led to the establishment of a Romany mission. For the first year it met in the local police station, and for the last two years in an abandoned movie theater. During this summer of 1999, a house was purchased and will be renovated to serve as the worship center.

We invite you to come visit us here in Budapest. We will show you the sights of the city and country, Gypsy ministry, and delight you with Hungarian cuisine.
