The article will be sent to your inbox automatically. . . On Wednesday, I'll be attending a planning meeting on how to respond to the needs of earthquake victims in Turkey. Long term expatriate residents ministering in the Turkey quake zone see king-sized opportunities. Fear of dying in a quake is a pervasive mood among Turks. Some say God is opening a door for believers to bring to Turks truly good news in the form of how to cope with fear.
Help is needed on two strategic rapid responses.
First, some are wanting to find or create an illustrated booklet to translate and hand out to kids and adults who have been living in fear for weeks. It would study the nature of fear, how to cope, maybe with some Scripture and some Christian perspective, but not overtly evangelistic. Better yet, on equipper who can teach others to teach people to cope. Booklets or other coping resource could be well received by huge numbers, but obviously, the window of opportunity is limited. Bernie will prepare a compiled report on options for us to post here.
