Testimony to a Turkish Cypriot coming to Christ

I want to share a huge praise that we feel blessed to be able to witness it and feel like our prayers here in Cyprus were instrumental to this miracle. The miracle is one that happens daily around the world “an individual being rescued from the dominion of darkness and brought into the kingdom of God’s Son” (Col. 1:13) There is an awesome story behind this. This brother who is working with another YWAM team here in N. Cyprus has been here for two years. He told me just moments ago that in the two weeks since we have been praying here in Cyprus that he has had more spiritual and meaningful conversations with Turkish Cypriots then any other time in the two years he has been here. This brother had just returned from the states just before we arrived. One of the young Cypriots he had been sharing his life with, for the past year, we will call him “john” pulled him aside as he was walking through town and began pouring out his heart to him. This brother still in Western mindset felt rushed to get to the next thing he had going and did not give “john” much time. A few days later “John” called him desperate to talk to him, so he went to meet him, during there time “John” shared that his girlfriend had just broken up with him and that he was considering suicide. He said that he would pray for him and encouraged him to pray to Jesus in his time of need. Two days later “John” called him to ask if he had prayed for him, he said yes, “I prayed that Jesus would bring you peace and contentment in him or bring your girlfriend back.” “John” exclaimed I did pray to Jesus as well and he answered both of those prayers, he said, “I was able to communicate with my girlfriend and told her that he truly had found peace in his heart whether they were together or not, she decided to return to me that next day.” “John” since then has asked for a Bible and stated that after praying and beginning to seek Jesus that he felt like it was his Birthday. The brother from YWAM believes that the Holy Spirit is doing the work of “washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit” Please continue to pray for this young man and for the Long-term workers here in N. Cyprus (which only consist of this brother and another family).

Please pray for more workers for the Harvest here in N. Cyprus.
