IZMIR, TURKEY - Mysterious, colorful, rich in history… plagued with poverty! The people are beautiful but you can see the strain of daily struggle written across their faces.
This is a Muslim nation where humanitarian aid is not accepted from Christian churches. Yet, amazingly, God is opening doors for us in this unique part of the world.
Orphan's Promise learned of a low income, Kurdish neighborhood in Izmir called Limontepe. Working with a local Christian church we were able to provide backpacks filled with school supplies and food for the children who live in this impoverished area. I wish you could have seen the gratitude on their faces. Now the local church will follow up with these families.
Loving people right where they are at and meeting them at their point of need is what Jesus is all about… and He invites us to do it with Him. What a privilege! Thank you for making this possible.
