Past ministries in Asia remind us of early spring. Although the Turkish authorities took a tougher position with the Islamization of the population countries and demonstrated their constant course in this direction, resorting to an extraordinary act in Istanbul, they turned the church St. Sophia into a functioning mosque.
Authorities deported Christian ministers from the country and without any explanations and are denied entry to Christians who work in Turkey. For example, a sister is married for more than 15 years and lives with her husband and child currently cannot extend her residence permit, and questions are raised about her deportation from the country. The interest of the Turkish population to become Christian does not decrease, especially among young people.
One of the students told me he was convinced Muslim, but then a miracle happened and he is now a child of the Lord! The city Gotse Delchev, which is in the southern part of Bulgaria is mostly inhabited by ethnic Turks. The Lord visited these people and in recent years more and more people turned to the Lord. Today they already have a church which is visited by a lot of young people. A house that is rented Sunday services, does not fit them all. Together we raised funds and bought a piece of land now pray that the Lord will send funds for the construction of the building. It has become obvious that the power of the divine fire flares up among the population of this region. We would be glad for any support in this ministry and in these countries!
