Asia Minor (Turkey) Special Please read

Dear Praying friends and we do thank you for your prayers without which transportation, silver or gold would not be sufficient to get our job done. we fully realize this.

Greetings in the name of Jesus the Holy One

I DONT KNOW HOW TO START THIS LETTER BUT THERE IS SUCH A GREAT NEED AND WE CANT DO IT ALL. S0 I must tell someone and maybe God will lay it on your heart to help. I don't know anyone else to ask except you and many of you don't know me personally

We are not writing this to heap praise on ourselves for this is His glory and His throne(Amos Wells). The Lord is allowing us to work with him as a bondman,vassal, and toiler. His grace is sufficient for us and we know He will provide our needs. We are going to places no one else will go. we have had about 10 people to come and leave/ they cant handle the work. we have been in Bergama 11 years and Turkey 20 years

We have carried the Gospel from Thyatira, Pergamos north to the Dardanelle South to 30 KM's north of Smyrna consisting of driving distance about 100 KM's west and 150 KM's south. There are 200 plus cities and villages we try to visit where feasible. The Light of Jesus has not been carried to this area for hundreds of years until we arrived 11 yrs ago. We go to these villages weekly which consists of about 600 KM's of travel at about $11 a gallon. as you can see it is a large area and expensive to drive.

these are our major points of contact where we are received favorably.

Due to unfortunate circumstance we have lost our van the only means of transportation and now we have to walk, ride a bus or rent a car.
Our job is not as effective as before.

The Daisy COG Men's Sunday school class has volunteered to try to find the first $1000 to start building a fund for a van. we have set up a fund number shown below.

We really need transportation to " carry the Gospel".. to distant villages and fields. If you feel led to help us buy a van please send your check as shown below.. We are hungry to carry the Gospel of Jesus more expeditiously.

We will not stop in spite of lack of funds and /or transportation. we just want to facilitate ease of our and more frequent visits

blessings and thanks for listenning.
