Relationship

Relationship is a word that keeps coming up lately. God has been growing me in my relationship with Him, and God is growing me in my relationships with people. There has been healing and newness in Kathryn's and my relationship. I am learning to relate to my kids differently as they move into adulthood. There are budding ministry relationships that I look forward to seeing how God directs. Also, much of my trip to Turkey in March will focus on relationships.

March 4-21, I will be in Turkey and Albania visting Turkish church leaders. For the majority of the trip, a pastor from England, John, and I will go to 6 different cities, visiting church leaders. John has been encouraging leaders in Turkey since 1999 and was a huge encouragement to my family and me when we lived in Turkey. I’m excited to team up with John as we serve church leaders in our own unique ways.

Lately, I have been talking with leaders from Joshua Project and the International Turkey Network to see if we could work together. We are still exploring what that would look like, so I would be grateful for your prayers. For so long, I have done ministry mostly on my own, but I feel that God is leading me to work together with others to have a deeper and wider-reaching impact for the gospel to be proclaimed to the ends of the earth.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. If you would like to connect, please reach out.

Blessings,

Mark
