Here are some comments from a letter we received from an 18 year old girl by the name of Handan in the South Central province of Karaman . Pray for her and many seekers like her:
"It has become a habit for me to wait for your books, courses and letters. Because of you I have grown much closer to God and grown in my knowledge of God. It is so good to know you are near me and supporting me. Please continue to pray for me. I have many problems and difficulties in my life. But because of you the doors of hope have once again opened. Please continue to be my friend as I need encouragement and a close friend. Please don't leave me alone. It is good that you are there my Godly friends...May God be with you."
Our sister ministry "TACO" has been battling to do a series of concerts in Turkey with the "No Longer Music" musical theater team. It is a powerful presentation that has generated excellent results the last two years in Turkey. They arrive in just a few days and a trusted brother who was supposedly setting up a number of events disappeared with a good amount of money and 3 excellent events that appeared to be "set in stone" fell through at the last minute. Pray that this brother would repent, return the money and that we would still be able to find key public venues for this fantastic presentation of the gospel. Here is the latest on the continuing court case related to last year's martyrdom's of the 3 believers in Malatya : http://www.compassdirect.org/en/display.php?page=news&idelement=5471
We received an email from a friend that shows the following pictures of a gay right's parade down the middle of Istanbul 's most crowded and famous street. Please pray that the Church in Turkey and Istanbul would have the same boldness as the gay community. Pray Istanbul's saints get the courage to stand on a corner, sing worship songs and tell the Good News about the Lord Jesus to the masses here in Istanbul.
