Christ for Turkish Villages

"And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life."  I John 5:11-12


Today we head to 190 Turkish villages in northern Greece to distribute about 15,000 Turkish language Scriptures and gospel tracts. The women will wear skirts and the men long pants out of respect for local custom.

The evening session began with a shout-out from the countries represented: Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Albania, Cyprus, Syria, Sudan, Holland, England, Brazil, Germany, Scotland, USA, Canada, South Africa, and Greece. The large contingent of Greeks stood as we clapped, excited to partner with the Greek church to reach their country for Jesus Christ.




The speakers reminded us that the Word of God is the "dynamite" of God, the "living and active" Word (Heb 4:12) that is able to bring salvation and transformation of lives. Greece is in spiritual crisis, said one speaker, its government rife with corruption and its young people without purpose and direction. Nothing can solve this crisis but the words of Scripture. "The single answer for man is found in the Word of God."
