Amazing times in Turkey

Colin, Jean, Katy and I had an amazing trip to Turkey. Thanks so much to all of you who prayed and encouraged us. God provided all we needed, and answered all our prayers for the week.

Here's the entrance to the daytime prayer room (we had two prayer rooms making up this 24/7 prayer week). "Hos geldiniz" is "you are welcome" in Turkish. A key prayer for us during the week was "Hos Geldiniz, Isa" or "You are welcome, Jesus."
Preparing the sunny patio where we could offer hospitality at the entrance to the prayer room.
The team on the "crown of Smyrna", a strategic hill and castle in the middle of the city.
The night time prayer room, in a central church building. It was a peaceful and inspiring place. And the site of the most amazing musical worship on the last night with young people.
I hope to share more stories with you in person. But particularly special things spring to mind now;

• prophecies received, confirming those received over many years, about Holy Spirit fire coming in this place and then spreading across Turkey,
• many stories of the Holy Spirit miraculously touching people, including a Muslim woman healed by Jesus in a dream then waking to find she is healed,
• I experienced an overwelming filling of the Holy Spirit whilst being prayer for in the prayer room
• we sang the Hallelujah chorus at the ampitheatre at Ephesus together with a Japanese tour group!
• many people now want to see more 24/7 prayer in Turkey

Thanks and glory to God.
