Gateway Update from Turkey: March 10, 2009

Thank you all for your prayers over the last two weeks. Our trip to the West Bank was fruitful and Spirit led. J.’s sister Melissa and brother-in-law Terry have a ministry (Al-Beit) in Bethlehem at the Jerusalem School. E., L., J. and two Dutch girls that attend Beytel West in Istanbul came to help with the ministry of Al-Beit.

Outreach Seminar (Ambassadors of the King in Palestine)
From Melissa and Terry’s Newsletter:
“Beginning in 2007, God has sent many workers into the area. Never, in recent history, has this area of the West Bank seen such a focus. Since there are many new workers here the seminar that J. and E. presented Friday was essential. A little over 30 people attended and they were given much needed tools in how to share the good news of Jesus with those around them. Thank you for your prayers concerning this meeting.”

Bible Teaching and sharing of Testimonies:
J. and E. had the opportunity to share their testimonies or teach the Bible on 9 separate occasions. Pray for lasting fruit from these lessons.

E. is made famous by making the King famous on: Sat 7 and Channel Hayat:
After giving his testimony at the Arabic church on Thursday night, E. was approached by a man who wanted to professionally record his testimony that it may be broadcast on Satellite television all over the Arab world. Friday morning we went to the recording studio and now E.’s testimony will be broadcast for all to see! Pray that there will be much fruit born through this endeavor.

Two refugee camps visited:
E. and J. had the opportunity also to visit many in the camps and pray for those who had requests and while there they met with a man named Muhanid. Muhanid is 16 years old and is a new believer. They spent several hours over a period of two days with Muhanid encouraging him in his situation. Because of this meeting Muhanid will be coming this summer to study with E. at NUT and be trained for ministry.

The Dutch Connection:
A. and Lt. from Holland, now attending Beytel West were a blessing to Al-Beit. This is what Melissa and Terry wrote about them: “A. and Lt. worked long hours with our elementary students. They played games, presented skits, and taught Bible lessons. We are thankful that God sent this group to encourage us in our work here.”

Zacchaeus Project Update:
Two projects have successfully been organized for reaching the T. province with Dr. Mujdeci! At the end of February Dr. M. with 4 others went out to T. with the believers there they organized an ongoing English course along with sports camps. They returned safely from their trip with little incident. Pray that these two projects will bear much fruit!
