(Turkey)–Elsewhere, two major hurdles face evangelical churches in Turkey: lack of trained leaders and few suitable buildings. According to Christian Aid Mission, a Turkish church planter says conditions are right to do something about both. Earlier this month, the Turkish parliament adopted laws that allow churches to buy land, construct new buildings and repair old ones. In addition, indigenous pastors are working to train new leaders. Please pray for those in outreach in Turkey as they occasionally face community opposition.
