And the waves yell His majesty
The nations are amazed at the works He has done
Forever being changed by the beauty of His creation
None can fathom His power
None can think as He does, love as He does, and move mountains as He does
He takes the redeemed heart and breaks down walls
He remolds our souls
And He makes our spirits like small children within us
The joy of the Lord is uncontainable
That even those lost in darkness, cannot hide their eyes."
Friends and Family,
This experience thus far has been indescribable. We have continually seen the Holy Spirit move in the people we meet. Our team has focused intently on building relationships with the people here in order that we may shine the light of truth upon them. We have been teaching in the schools, attending weddings, going to festivals, meeting with people at the Mosques, and diving deep into the Turkish culture. It has been a crazy ride with ups and downs, but a learning experience above all else.
Next week we are moving to Izmere to do college work. We are all very excited to see how God is going to use us there. Everyday we have the chance to use what we learned in Belize. We invest our hands and feet into paving, sanding, working in olive orchards, and cleaning. We also get to invest our love and light into one another as we become closer as a team.
The culture has taken a bit to adjust to but as we are getting the hang of things, more opportunities arise for us to reach out even more.
Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts. Continue to shine brightly in your homes. As Ghandi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
Much love from Turkey,
Bekki
