โ Today's Promise: "Letโs not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary." Galatians 6:9
~ Sara in Turkey
Hello Brides,
I want to praise my Beloved for everything that He is doing not just in my life but in the Turkish Ministry as well.
Many of you know that after three years we finally were able to publish the book in Turkey, and not just that but also we have a blog, and our Social Media Ministries, so we can continue to sow hope and encouragement to those who don't know His amazing Love and grace.
This past week, He laid on my heart to go to the city that I was living in two months ago, and bring some books with me, that would be sown in churches.
I had a plan to meet with one pastor that was interested in the books for the women. But of course, His plans are better than ours.
When I arrived in the city, it was very early in the morning, so I went to meet with one of my dearest friends. She took me to a lovely breakfast and then asked if I would be willing to meet with her leader. Well, I wasn't, but He said go, so I did. We sat in the seashore on the Asian side of the city, looking at the sea, and across from it, we could see the European side and Hagia Sophia, such an amazing experience. We were there sitting on the stones and marveling at His beauty. When my friend turned to me and asked, can I share about the Ministry and the book?
I looked at her and said if He laid it in your heart, then just follow Him, and after she confirmed, she shared with her leader. It was so funny his reaction, he was very surprised and interested and immediately turned his full attention to listen to it. I was able to share our Encouraging Men website and our HopeAtLast in Turkish.
He then shared that his wife divorced him, and he didn't know how to help others, and listening to what I shared and seeing the website brought him peace.
He then asked for a book so he could have a look, and before I even opened my mouth, my friend shared that I had books in her house. I just arrived in the morning with them to sow in another church, but He wants more people to know.
He then begins to pray about how to use these resources that as everybody says, it is NEEDED!!! This is the first and only book about marriage restoration in this country!
This was not a formal or even planned meeting but He worked it all out, making sure that the book is being shared with the leaders of different churches in this country!
Two days later, I also meet with another leader and gave more books, and his response was to ask where he could get more? And on the same day, during the service, he shared about RMI and the book Restore Your Marriage since many of the women there were hopeless. Now they can know the truth, and they at least found Hope!
I can't wait to share more about the fruits that will come from sowing the book. But I believe that it will be more than I could imagine.
Ladies never lose hope. He sees the seed that you are planting and He will bring the fruits at His appointed time!
