(is-tan-BULL) – “As long as my legs will carry me,” said elderly Arlene, “I will keep coming to study the Bible.” Over the past several years, as relationships have grown within a weekly women’s Bible study in a lesser‑reached part of Istanbul, so has the fruit of God’s Word among the women who attend. While the study has not been without challenges, a believer involved in the group has gently encouraged careful reading of Scripture and emphasized the importance of context and how all of God’s Word leads to Christ and gospel‑driven heart change. Over time, the women have become more focused on the text itself, and there has been visible growth marked by repentance, meaningful discussion, and a growing love for the gospel. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness to work through His Word, and thank Him for women like Arlene and her daughters who continue to come each week, eager to learn! Pray that this growth will continue, that these women will be built up in Christ, and that the Body will mature in love as each part does its work (Ephesians 4:15-16).
