CHURCH / Upcoming Baptisms

These brothers are new members of our church. They came to Christ in last couple of months and have been studying our doctrine classes. Man in the middle is Levent and on the right is Ahmet. They are both married and have kids. Their families are not believers yet. But we pray often for them to hear the gospel and come to Christ. I just have had 2 hours study with these two men on baptism and church, hopefully I will be having another one on marriage next week. Unfortunately Christian values in life (especially in marriage) is rare to find in Turkey. It is also extremely hard to become a Christian, especially if you are settled middle age person with family. You get criticisms, jokes and slanders. People thinks that you are going thru some kind of midlife crisis. 

We would be appreciated if you raise your prayers to our Lord for these men.  Pray that these man grow in their faith and be light to the people around them. Their baptisms also coming up, so please remember that day would be not just a blessing to them but also blessings to many other who plan to attend.
