Summary

"Pastor Tim" leads a church in Malatya, Turkey—a church which almost ten years ago saw three of its members martyred for their faith in Christ. This week we'll hear how that loss affected the church and how God has moved in Malatya in exciting ways in the past 10 years. We'll also hear an update on how one of the martyr's families continues to serve the Lord in that city—and even to love the murderers. Tim will also update listeners on the overall situation for the church in Turkey, especially in light of recent political upheaval there, and how we can pray for that nation and for our brothers and sisters serving Christ there. Finally, he'll share important truths about ministering and reaching out in a Muslim culture—truths that we can use as we reach out to Muslims we know.
