PERSIANS OF TURKEY

Last November, there was a devastating earthquake in a city in eastern Turkey. Many Iranian refugees who were living in that city lost their houses and the few possessions they owned. The government allowed those who could afford it to leave that city to live in other cities around the country. However, some refugees did not have the means to go and are still living in tents during these cold winter months. Give thanks to God that believers were able to provide blankets, clothes, heating stoves, and coal for the displaced. Pray that these items will minister to the refugees physically and cause them to ponder spiritual things. Pray that those who have been ministered to will see Christ’s love in the lives of those who are ministering to them. Pray for M and H, two national believers who are ministering to the displaced refugees in other Turkish cities. Ask God to strengthen and encourage them as they work with these people. Pray that they will have many opportunities to share of God’s love and mercy, even in times of trouble.
