Aden - Reaching out to new communities in Istanbul

Aden is an art studio/cultural center/idea hub that reaches out to people of

all walks of life from the center of Istanbul.

 

We use the artistic gifts the Lord has given to reach people with the good

news. The people of this country love performances of almost any kind.

Many national believers are interested in learning more about the arts in

order to use them to proclaim His truth. One young woman is attending our

visual arts workshop in order to improve her skills in order to paint

quality pictures that make others ask questions about God and her beliefs.

One congregation in the city wishes to learn how they can incorporate the

arts in their services using them as new ways to worship God and encourage

one another. Another group of national believers have taken skits with a

Christian message, and spent their vacation traveling and performing in many

homes.

 

The Lord has also allowed us to use our training to meet and reach out to a

unique group of people that often segregate themselves. They are all

gifted, often unique and at times eccentric. They are artists. We have

been working with several professional artists who are believers, as well as

expanding our relations with those who don't know the Truth. We have

several projects planned which will bring believers and nonbelievers

together while providing opportunities for spiritual conversation.

 

Please lift up the national believers who are striving to worship the Lord

and reach out to their communities. Pray for the artists in the

professional circles, as they strive to make the Lord a part of every

project they undertake, may they shine forth to their colleges and may Truth

be found in their works that are seen by large audiences. Also pray for the

events that are approaching, that the Lord would be working in hearts and

lives now and that He would use those events for His glory, perhaps adding a

few new members to the family!
