Team Report – #590S
| Location: | Turkey (Central) |
| Date: | Oct 16-Oct 31 2007 |
| Sending Partner: | STEM Share (Mixed ages) |
• STEM Share’s first team to a new field in Central Turkey
• Sitting on the floor of a mosque with a Muslim cleric, hearing first-hand the heart-wrenching deception that permeated his mindset...asking probing questions that we pray the Lord will use to open his heart to the truth.
• Specific prayerwalks in 6 cities
• Extended times of intercession for the unreached nation of Turkey
• Our hosts felt that the timing of the team’s visit was strategic and said the encouragement and prayers of the team played a part in their decision to continue on in ministry.
• Being repeatedly surprised by the warmth and hospitality of the Muslim Turks. Many divine appointments along the way and opportunities to share seeds of the Good News.
• Praying and worshipping from a fortress that overlooks a dark, unreached city with no known ethnic believers — a city with an inhospitable environment for those bringing the Good News of Jesus. The team cried out to the Lord to give the people visions and dreams and lead them to the Living Savior. They asked the Lord to sustain, keep and protect the two foreign Christian families living there.
• Worshipping with 30-40 Turkish believers in Istanbul — gave hope and a vision for what can happen in cities throughout the nation of Turkey.
