Ok, so I'm not sure this is a proverb or an expression officially accepted in the English language but I'm going to try it anyway.
Question:
How was your trip?
Answer:
Can you catch the wind in a bottle?
We arrived home very safe and sound on Sunday, October 2, after about 19 hours of travel. The hilights of our trip include but are not limited to:
Sharing our Hope in God through Isa (Jesus) Messiah
Seeing the Blue Mosque (only temple outside of Mecca with 6 spires)
Visiting the Haggia Sofia (orthodox and muslim spot of worship for the past 1,500 years or so)
Serving David Byle in his ministry
Meeting those who have published Bibles, started churches, and paid a very dear price to do so
Serving the believing community in Turkey
Serving some of the lost and the least
Meeting believers from Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and those of Armenian and Kurdish descent
Hearing their stories
Beginning what we hope to be is a long term relationship with some of our new friends
Serving with Adam and Jim (GEM folks)
Experiencing the rich beauty of Turkey (historical, biblical, and geographical)
and being part of a GEBC Outreach Team
We needed every one of your prayers and God was good to us. Thank you for your support.
OK, so maybe it's lightning in a bottle... but it also felt like wind in a bottle. Either way, we were privileged to serve in such a fashion and look forward to seeing what happens as a result in the future.
