Adana Trip

We are so thankful to be joined by 6 wonderful brothers and sisters this week for a trip to Adana, Turkey. You might think of Adana like you would Cleveland, but with the bonus of being near the Mediterranean. It is an industrial blue collar town, not the kind of place where many tourists come, but there are lots of Americans in the area at an Air Force base just out of town. I'll have to take some pictures of the nicer spots in town too, but the ones here are indicative of the part of town we've spent most of our time in.

God has been very faithful in giving all of us opportunities to meet people in shops and tea houses. The group is doing very well playing the dictionary game and using the bit of Turkish they have already learned to get to know folks. We have been shown great kindness in the hospitality we have received, and it can be quite natural to share a gift of the word and other materials with the new friends we’ve made. Pray that our conversations will continue to be fruitful and that the word will not return void. Praise God we can pray what he has already promised to do!
