First off, we are now up to $3,950 in funds raised.  Thank you to all of you who have supported us thus far!  Our first fundraising deadline is July 1st.  We have to have $7,000 raised by July 1 and thanks to all of you, we are well on our way. 

We have received a few questions about donating in various forms so just a reminder that you are always free to contact us if you have any questions at all about donating, even if its just a website navigation question.

 

I wanted to use this post to give some information on one of the countries we will be visiting:  

Turkey

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, modern Turkey was united in 1923 under Ataturk. Its location at the crossroads between Europe and Asia makes it an influential player in European and Middle Eastern politics and economy. Although there is no official religion, more than 99% of the Turkish people are Muslim. Istanbul has long been the headquarters of the Eastern Orthodox Church, but Christians still make up less than 0.2% of the population. The potential for outreach in this country is enormous.

Prayer: Please pray for open communication for our team in this highly Muslim country and pray that people’s eyes would be opened to the reality that Jesus is Lord and the only way (John 14:6). 

More updates on other countries to come soon.

Thank you!
