A believer was inspired to start sharing evangelistic articles about Jesus on an instant messaging app. After a few posts, Sarah realized that this allowed her to reach more people than other kinds of social media did. Denise, whom Sarah had met a year ago, reached out to her. They’d met when Denise visited a church for the first time. After seeing one of those articles, Denise asked if she could have a Bible and also asked for prayer. They agreed to meet at church the following Sunday. At church, Denise confided that she was depressed and described how it was affecting her life. Sarah and a brother in Christ then shared truth with Denise. Sarah was able to relate some of her own testimony, which resonated deeply with Denise. Before departing, the believers prayed for Denise and showed her how to download a Bible app on her smartphone so she could listen to it while working. Pray for Denise to read and listen to God’s Word and be changed by it. Ask the Spirit to draw her to Himself. Pray that God will give believers in Istanbul continued creativity in using resources like instant messaging apps to reach more people.
