Dear and precious coworkers, brothers and sisters,

Thank you very much for all your prayers for our Summer Bible Conference in Turkey titled“PRAYER”.

Twenty-five people participated this time, including guests from Bulgaria, Ukraine and Greece. We experienced a great work of God at this conference who taught us how to pray. We are especially thankful to God for his mighty work in us. After the conference Satan tempted some young brothers and sisters, but Sh. Hande clearly chose God's side standing firm in her honesty. When we prayed God defeated the devil and thus we experienced the power of prayer once more.

All participants were greatly encouraged to pray more regularly and more frequently through the widow's example from Luke 18:1-8 and Jesus' example in Luke 22:41-42. We all have our solitary place and we learned to pray for God's kingdom to come based on Lord's prayer. We realized that until the time God's kingdom is fully restored, we have to pray in order to enthrone Jesus in our hearts and in the heart of one soul. May God's kingdom come and his will be done!

I also thank God that during the first day of the conference I graduated and received my diploma. We could see the power of prayer once again through this. God gave me a new job even before graduation so I can extend my stay and continue in God's calling for our house church ministry. I give all glory to GOD!

Please pray for sister Hande to accept Jesus and continue to grow in faith as Sarah. Please pray for us to raise 12 disciples of Jesus in Turkey.

Your great debtor,
JP
