Turkey Trip

Here are a few pictures of Tarsus, Turkey. There are 350000 people in Tarsus. As you may remember this is where Paul who wrote most of the New Testament lived.
We visited the site they call his home which has been excavated along with a portion of the "Roman Road".

From what I am told, there are only 8, yes I said eight (8) Turkish believers who live here... They suffer great persecution here. Many expect to be martyred. However the love of Christ is abundant here and shows through the believers we met. We are encouraging them to continue to walk in Love toward their unbelieving fellow countryman that He might be seen in them.
