"You aren't one of those secret Christians, are you?"

Last week while preaching the gospel in the open air in one of the crowded downtown sections of Istanbul, a man stayed to listen and then later told us his story. He had had an interest in our faith ever since he learned that, as a baby, he had been cared for in a orphanage by a Christian lady (in Turkey). He began visiting a traditional church in Istanbul once in a while to light candles and pray, when one day a neighbor of his saw him entering the church. "You aren't one of those secret Christians, are you?" he asked condescendingly, which only made him want to become a Christian even more. Pray for this man, that he'll come to know personally the Savior that he's looking for, turn from his wrong ways, and by believing in Christ find eternal life. Like so many like him, he is fed up with things here, and wants to move to a different country. Pray God will give him a new love for his own people.
