Yesterday I offically decided to take the Young Adults of our church to Turkey. We will be going to support and work with one of the young adult missionaries from our church in her work there. Every year we go to a diferent place and look for different experiences. The first year we went to San Francicso to work with the poor. Last year we went to hike the Himalyan mountains in India to support one of our missionaries, and pray for that country. This year will be similar to that, in that alot of the work will not be tangible expressions of mission work--building stuff etc., but be relational/spiritual in its accomplishments.
We will spend time helping add to the continued building of Christian relations in that country between Christianity and Islam. Sharing the life-giving message of Christ with those we build relationships with and looking for every opportunity to live out the gospel as a way of life not only as a message. We will spend time doing ministry in coffee-shop style Christian gatherings, sharing, leading in worship, doing campus ministry on University Campuses, helping a company with the creation of Biblical materials for those who cannot read Scripture because of threat. These are just the opening ideas of what we will be doing in Turkey, and I will continue to update these things as they unfold. I am looking forward to it and will look forward to sharing the experience with all of you!
