Turkey trip this coming Wednesday

Dear Friends,

Thank you for praying for Kathryn and my time in Tucson. We had a great time celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary and it was sweet to share with a Sunday School class at The Journey Church. The people in the class have a wealth of experience and passion to see God glorified over the whole earth. They were encouraging and their questions will help me to communicate more effectively in the future.

Please pray for my up coming trip to Turkey and Cyprus this coming week. If you would like to receive updates please please consider signing up. While in Istanbul I will visit with leaders of 4 different churches. Please pray for God to speak through me as I preach next Sunday. In Cyprus leaders from all of the Foundation’s churches will be gathered to encourage one another and seek God’s leading.

There has been a lot of turmoil in Turkey so far this year. Over 50 foreign Christians have had their resident permits revoked and banned from reentry. There is currently political turmoil. I do not want to say more, please ask me in person. All of this to say that your prayers are needed even more so at this time.

Please pray for faith and courage for all of the believers in Turkey. Please pray for Turks to come to faith in Christ. Please pray that the global church would come alongside so that there would be gospel witness in every city in Turkey.

Thank you for your prayers and support,

Mark
