Turkish conf, day one

Our first sessions seemed to go quite well, as we both had lots of positive comments & genuine connections afterwards.

Believe it or not, that's the main thing I struggle w/at all int'l ministry: will I be able to connect & will the teaching be truly relevant here? As much as I feel called to do this, I'm never sure & don't want to take for granted - so it's always a joy to know later that the Word "hit the mark".

Please continue to pray: this conf. Includes at least 4 co-workers of the recent martyrs from Malatya, including one who was locked outside listening to the screams while his best friend was murdered inside. It has been incredibly difficult for this small network of churches & some are understandably angry & bitter. Pray that we will be able to facilitate healing & being much-needed encouragement.
