3 days ago…

Praising God for the BAPTISM we had in the church this Sunday 8:30 in the morning. 13 born-again believers. This is the sixth baptism for this year. 3 were outside in the river and 3 in the church J

We had baptism of a French speaking converted from Africa. Last 6 years we had more than 100 exchange students with changed lives. Every year we have new groups coming in our church.

After a blessed church service we had FAMILY PARTY. Time for Family seminar, discussions and games. This year we had 7 weddings! Praying for more and more young families to come to Christ!

Our prayers and future goals are to reach the next generation. Todays young familyes and the youth. Please, join us in prayer.

We need new and working strategies and guidance from the Lord. Most of all we need the work of the Holly Spirit in the lifes of young people to have hunger for knowing Christ and repentance and faith.

NEXT page – going to because of the murder of a Korean pastor-evangelist, to preach on gathering, support and encourage local believers, Korean missionaries, and the future work in this unreached country…

Tomorrow and the next 3 days! I am going to Turkey for gathering of about 400-500 Christian pastors and leaders because of the murder of Korean pastor, missionary and evangelist. I will have 30 min to preach and share God’s heart for salvation of the muslim.

Jinwook Kim, 41, was stabbed three times on the street in the Turkish city of Diyarbakir on November 19. Later he died of his injuries in the hospital.

Kim’s wife gives birth of their second child two days after the killing of her husband. The baby is ok, but evangelical Christians are worried about their lives and future.

Please, pray for me to be used by God to encourage the family of the martyred missionary, his coworkers, local pastors and ministry leaders. Also, for our safety.

Please, pray for the church in Turkey. They are oppressed and persecuted in so many ways. Pray for the church to be evangelizing, disciple making and church planting. Please, pray for open hearts and doors for the Gospel. Turkey has probably the biggest number of missionaries, but is one of the most unreached countries in the world.

In the last years there were demonstrational killings of Christians in Turkey.

Andrea Santoro a Roman Catholic priest on 5 February 2006, in , was murdered in the Santa Maria Church in Trabzon, Turkey. He was shot dead from behind while kneeling in prayer in the church from 16 year old high school student shouting "allahu akbar".

Hrant Dink -Armenian intellectual, editor-in-chief of Agos, journalist and prominent member of the Armenian Christian minority in Turkey. Dink was receiving numerous death threats. Dink was assassinated in Istanbul on January 19, 2007 by Ogün Samast, a 17-year-old Turkish nationalist. He was shot three times in the head and died instantly.

Missionary massacres took place on April 18, 2007, in Zirve Publishing House, Malatya, Turkey. Three evangelical believers of the Bible publishing house were attacked, heavily tortured with hours to deny Christ and accept , and murdered by five Muslim assailants. One of them Necati Aydın, 36, was my colleague – Jesus Film director for Turkey, Uğur Yüksel, 32, was Turkish converts from Islam. The third man, Tilmann Geske, 45, was a German missionary.

Please pray for the church in Bulgaria to reach more than a million muslims living in Bulgaria and to support the work in Turkey.
