Church Vandalized

In TURKEY, vandals wrote pro-Islamic and anti- Christian slogans on a building dating from the early church—a 1,700-year-old place of worship. Turkey was the headquarters of Paul's missionary journeys, and is rich in Biblical history. Although places like Tarsus, Antioch, Laodicea, Ephesus, and Cappadocia (where over 6,000 Christians took refuge in underground dwellings they carved out from the soft volcanic rock) hold deep significance for Christians around the world, Turkish Christians do not have the safety to worship freely. 

Pray that Christians throughout Turkey do not grow discouraged at the frequent insults and vandalisms, and that they are able to return good for evil. 

“Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.”
