Help Missionaries Stand Firm in Turkey

Pray the spiritual eyes of the lost will be opened to God’s goodness. A man who liked to argue with local missionaries about the false beliefs of Christians asked for a New Testament so he could show them the lies in it. But as he began to read, his spiritual eyes were opened. “He noticed how merciful Jesus was to those he connected with,” the ministry leader said. “So, we shared with him how Jesus came into this world to rescue those who were most needy, and he began to cry.” The man gave his life to Christ and was baptized.
