Turks of Istanbul, Turkey

(is-tan-BULL) – In September 2024, you were asked to pray for Caden, who had come to saving faith in Christ. After over a year of praying for his family, Caden’s father finally visited church for the first time this past month. Caden is still the only Christian in his family, but his parents, who are divorced, have both become more accepting of his faith. Give thanks to God that his father was willing to come to church and got to experience a worship service and hear the gospel, surrounded by Turkish believers! This is an answer to the many prayers that God would soften this family’s heart and that Caden would be faithful to love and share with his family. Please continue to pray that Caden will be a bold witness to those around him. Pray that soon will be the day of salvation for his family! “For [the Lord] says, ‘In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.’ Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2 ESV).
