We have just completed a worship service with over 70 believers at a church and leadership retreat. Our team has been the baby sitters for the younger children while the parents get a much needed break. We have also met with local pastors, church workers, and now have many new friends.
There are less than 5,000 believers in the entire country of Turkey. One of our friends is pastor to a new church of 20. Their city is over 200,000 strong. The city has only one church. You can do the math on that one... It is good to know that though outnumbered, they are not at all discouraged. They are proud to know that God is at work in so many ways in this place.
The people are very receptive to us and have been gracious hosts. We look forward to strengthening ties and finding ways to partner with the coalition of churches here for further future support. Thanks to you all for helping make this possible.
The computer is almost out of battery and I am needed elsewhere. Please forgive the brief nature of this post. Thank you for your prayer support.
