A CHRISTIAN missionary used to visit the gypsies and tell them the good news of God’s salvation. One day she noticed a gypsy, surrounded by his children, standing in front of his caravan. She spoke to him of the death of the Saviour on the cross, and at once he said, “Oh! that is very interesting.”
He brought out a much read Bible and said, “Someone gave me this Bible. I wanted to read it, but I had never been to church or to school. With much trouble I taught myself to read, and since then I have read that Book day and night, yes, until my eyes were sore. I thought to myself, surely someone will come along and explain things to me.”
For several hours they read tether, and Mrs. Zeller was astonished at his knowledge of the Bible. While reading in Acts 16 about the jailor at Philippi to whom Paul said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house,” up jumped the gypsy and shouted, “Yes, and my caravan, too!”
Yes, dear young friends, the Lord wants not only your Daddy and Mother to be saved — He wants the whole family, too. Have you taken Him as your Saviour?
