Exit Concert in Novi Sad begins today.  The festival began in 2000 as a student protest against the Milošević regime. During its 13 years of existence, it has developed into one of the best European music festivals, but also as an organization with a powerful social platform. Exit has been visited by over two million people in more than 60 countries worldwide. CNN, The New York Times, and many others have on numerous occasions proclaimed EXIT amongst the top 10 world festival destinations.

We were so blessed to spend yesterday afternoon with Pastor Erman from the Evangelical Gypsy Church of Serbia and the gypsy children.  Pastor Irman works with the Roma community here in Serbia.  There are 200,000 Roma who live in Belgrade, 20,000 of them are living in extreme poverty.
