Story of a Dom Church

for details...
The
CBF Dom Gypsy team ministers to Gypsies in North Africa and the
Middle East.
Few people realize that the
Gypsies are a distinct ethnic group. Gypsy is the general English
term to describe a large, ethno-linguistic group. In their
homeland of India, they were originally called Dom, meaning
"man." Today, in the Middle East and North Africa, they
still identify themselves as Dom.
Many Dom are nominally Muslim,
going to the mosque only when forced to do so. Others hold
to the mystical beliefs of their forefathers. In the past,
tattooing served several functions, one of which was protection
against evil. One can see that the Dom live in spiritual
darkness. You can join in a prayer effort to penetrate this
darkness.
