Oti Bunaciu, Pastor of the Ferentari (Providence) Baptist Church in Bucharest, Romania has been connected to Florida since the early 90's. Since that time, the Providence Baptist Church has become the world center of Gypsy ministry, education and evangelism.

The Ruth School (www.projectruth.ro) for Gypsy children was begun by Oti with encouragement and help from T Thomas and CBF. Satellite Ruth Schools are being placed throughout Romania.

The Gypsy Smith School of Evangelism, a training program for Gypsy pastors and evangelists, is conducted at Providence. Many Florida pastors have gone to Romania and taught at this school of evangelism. Providence Baptist Church also hosts the world-wide Gypsy radio programs which are recorded and broadcast from there. Florida will continue to have a direct connection with Oti, this church, and their successful efforts with ministering to Gypsies.
