Effective Audio Ministry Resources

Because of the high illiteracy rate it quickly became evident to that they needed to rely on story telling and audio visual aids. Like other gypsies, Banjaras are musical lovers. God certainly knew that when I gifted with musical talent and I can sing for His glory."Culturally relevant music has proven to be one of the best ways to reach my people".

So far, I wrote and published over 270 Banjara Christian songs. How I do this is by taking Bible stories and create them folk gypsy Ballads sung in own unique Banjara musical style. Currently I produced 17 master cassettes or CD's with 10 songs on each cassette. The production costs for each master in a professional studio is $ 1200. Copies are then made and distributed in Banjara villages as a means to spread the Gospel. They have distributed over 1,22,000 cassettes and CDs in 4 states among hundreds of different villages. Whenever myself and my team travel the village people gather and demand,"Sing those songs," and so we sing to them the stories of a book they have never heard in the Bible. They also hear about a new God, A Loving God named Jesus. Though this unique music of the Gypsies the Gospel is being proclaimed, souls are saved, discipleship is happening, and churches are being planted
