Tuesday’s Turkish News

Selam (Hi) from Paris,

Today we visited with our friends Hassan and Nermin and their three sweet children.  They’ve had a baby boy since we were here almost a year ago!  Gary Peevy and Gary Bailey shared again with Hassan the need to become a true follower of Christ.  Our friend, Fedva (Leyla’s sister), shared with his wife, Nermin.  We believe that she is a true follower of Jesus.  Fedva gave her her phone number and believes that she will call her in Brussels for spiritual encouragement.  We had a good visit with both Hassan and Nermin.

We also delivered Bibles to Turkish addresses in Paris that we found in the white pages and prayer walked as we did so.   Also, Notre Dame, the Champs Elysee and the Arc de Triomphe were on our sightseeing agenda for the day!

We have rented a car for tomorrow to drive to where Shukru lives.  He is so excited that we are coming and is looking forward to studying the Bible with us and being encouraged in his faith.  The trip is about 200 miles south of here.  We cannot see him until he gets off of work at 5, but will visit with his wife and their Turkish friends until he gets home.  Please pray for us as we travel and that our visit with him will be an encouragement to him and to us.

Today we also arranged to meet the Antioch family on Thursday evening for their worship time.  They are now renting a building each week to worship in and so we will go there for our time with their extended family and others in their new church.  We are really looking forward to that.

Misty Porter travels home to Rogers tomorrow, ahead of the rest of us.  Please keep her in your prayers as she travels.

Thank you again for your support of this mission.  God is at work!

Blessings,

David & Misty Porter, Gary & Tammy Bailey, Gary & Nancy Peevy
