Turkey Posts

My trip through Turkey has had me staying in some rather 'earthy' places, from the basement of a 100 year-old church to cheap hotels that make most missionary guest houses look like five-star luxury accommodations.

I’ve also had an extremely packed schedule, involving early mornings, late nights and 1,491 miles of travel in a compact car during a three day period.

Needless to say, I haven’t had much Internet availability or computer time along the way.

I’m presently back in Istanbul after various meetings, the chance to preach at two church services (Russian and Turkish), and – bonus - the opportunity to see all seven cities of the churches of Revelation, plus Colossae, Hierapolis and other cities of Biblical significance.

I have some amazing stories to share – stories of wonderful historical encounters; stories of trafficked girls finding redemption; stories of near-death experiences; stories of churches waking up to the call to care for the orphan and widow.

...But I’ll simply have to share them with you later.

Thanks for your prayers!

Can't wait Paul! God placed you on my heart recently to pray for you so I am doing so. (now can see why.)

Hm...that's funny, i happen to think that the absence of the internet anywhere in the world would be the best thing ever!
that's probably why i still don't have it at home...and probably wont for many years to come.
Anyways, can't wait to see the photos and hear the stories.
