It is no longer headline news, and most days it is not news at all. However, people in Turkey are still hurting. The country struggles to recover from one of the worst earthquakes recorded in the twentieth century. Family members grieve over the loss of life to more than 15,500 people.
Thousands more seek to recover from their injuries.
Some 1-2 million now have no place to call home. Thankfully, local believers and expatriate Christian workers and many volunteers are working bring relief to the suffering. A team from Rosedale Mennonite Missions and Mennonite Central Committee visited Turkey from September 12 to 18 and met with local pastors and churches. Workers associated with Rosedale Mennonite Missions in the Middle East have joined in the effort to meet the urgent existing needs. Purses, people, and prayer are needed.
