Creative Art Opens Hearts in Turkey

OM's creative arts ministry in Asia recently finished a tour in Turkey with a world champion unicyclist, an illusionist and a dancer. They were an unstoppable combination, performing in conjunction with local churches in Izmit, near Istanbul, and in several cities in the southeast. The police showed up--and helped with crowd control! The unicyclist, Dustin, shared his testimony and the Gospel from his six-foot unicycle. Craig, the illusionist, shared from his bag of tricks and gave his direct Gospel “magic ball” message as the team handed out cards with a Gospel message to the gathered crowd.

In Izmit, they partnered with a street outreach. Afterward, the local church leader was very enthusiastic and said, "From the afternoon outreach, 25 people came to see the Jesus film in the evening. Of these, 19 stayed to discuss more, and three or four are very, very interested. Dustin, also appeared on national television. He performed, and during the program he was able to share briefly that God is the only one who can fill the emptiness in our lives.

Prayer Points
1. Praise God for the many seeds of truth that were planted.
2. Please pray for follow up for the many who were impacted by this tour.
