I have spent the last two weeks here in Istanbul, Turkey teaching in the Istanbul Bible Institute and being apart of the team life. This is my 7th or 8th trip to Istanbul and it never gets old. Each time I have the privilege of meeting new people and seeing my friends grow in their faith in Jesus Christ. This time I have met many believers who are Christian refugees from the Farsi speaking countries. They have found our church through many different avenues but they all have the same desire and hunger to know Christ and grow in the Word. Many of them have indefinitely left everything in their country to find freedom in other countries where they can believe without having to deal with governmental persecution. That is what has brought them to Turkey. Please keep them in prayer.
I will be staying here until the end of the month. Next week we will travel to Cyprus to be with our friends there in the Bible school in Limassol. The following week I will travel to another city in Turkey to visit some friends there. After that I will return to Finland for the month of May. I believe God will use this time to enlarge our hearts and invest in us great eternal treasures. Continue in prayer.
