Thurman Update 35, written August 19th, 2007

For the past 8 months I have been working with the International Turkey Network on an initiative to mobilize strategic prayer for Turkey. The vision is to see at least 50, 000 Turks come to follow and worship Jesus. This is a God-sized vision, for there are only 3,500 known believers out of a population of 70 million)

A small church in Turkey led by a Turkish couple with little resources, training, and support embraced this vision and have been praying and fasting.

In the past two days during concert outreach 400 Turks have prayed the Sinner's Prayer in Jesus' name. This is what we have been praying for!


Thank You Jesus
that you came to search
and save the lost!




This is a situation that requires constant, determined prayer.
We desire that these 400 will continue to grow in grace and truth and be used of God to reach out to their own fellow Turks with the life-changing message of the Gospel!

One of the young men whom we worked with in Cyprus two years ago, who last year was attacked, beaten, and threatened with a knife was giving leadership in this outreach. What an amazing testimony to God's faithfulness!


***Another praise is that God has provided for us a second car, through the help of good friend and ministry supporter! Thank for your prayers for us. God continues to meet all our needs.

Love,

The Thurmans
