Tunaydin Family and Friends,

 

I have been in Turkey for over two weeks. This place is so beautiful but so heavy. I have never been to a place of such spiritual darkness. As believers we are called to be the light of the world. Our light must shine before others so that they may see our good works and give glory to our father who is in heaven.  It has been hard to be light in the midst of this darkness because people who are living in darkness believe that they are in the light.  They live by believing that the good works that they are doing allow them to be the light and they will go to paradise after they die. Therefore, it is very hard to share the Light with them. My team and I have chosen not to walk in fear of sharing the light even if they disagree with it.  

 

The most beautiful thing I have witnessed is that people are so open to talking about what they believe and why they believe it.  This has encouraged me to know what I believe. If you do not know what you believe, then you will easily believe whatever is right in front of you. I encourage family and friends to really know what you believe. We must be prepared to give answers to everyone who asks to give the reason for the hope that we have but do it with gentleness and respect. 

 

I am asking that you would p*** for me and my team as we continue to be the light in the midst of the darkness. It has been encouraging to see many workers here on the field tending to the harvest. Please keep p*** for them as they are doing what the father is calling to them to do. Thank you so much for p*** and support.  Please let me know if you are interested in supporting anyone on my team.
