I just found out about this opportunity for a mission trip to Türkiye yesterday (Feb 28)! I had recently spoken with someone about visiting with another group and we discussed the possibility of going in the near future. I have also just finished a prayer letter where I was going to say "I have so much enjoyed traveling abroad the last two years that I almost feel deflated at the prospect of not having anywhere to go this year, but the Lord knows best" but decided not to for lack of space. Well, the Lord DOES know best! And today I am trying to make plans quickly to take a journey to share God's love with a few in this unreached country. Please pray for the team and me that plans will come together, that provision will be made, good preparation, safe travels, good health, and many divine appointments. May the Lord bless you all as you come with us in spirit! See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%B0zmir for a taste of Izmir, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolia for the broader area of Anatolia. Türkiye is on the border of Europe and Asia and has been an important cross-point for most of history. Pray for the Turkish people to come to know the Lord.
