(is-tan-BULL) – The Turkish Church has been around for many years. It meets in many different buildings and has faithful pastors. However, the number of attendees is small. Most Turks work more than eight hours a day for six days a week. Sunday is their only day off, or maybe they get another day off during the week. They are expected to attend family gatherings, friend gatherings, and run errands all on this one day. It is difficult for many of the believers to attend church regularly. Please pray that each congregation in Istanbul will grow by 10 regular attendees this year.
