The Anglican Way: Sharing the unchanging Truth of God's holy Word in love and loving those with whom we share it!
NEW Message from Corin Odell, our overseas missionary
Update from Corin
Greetings from Corin, beloved friends and family! I hope that the Lord has been showering his blessings and Grace upon you all, as he has been doing for me. I am currently in the city of Izmir, Turkey, which is also the modern day location of the ancient city of Smyrna, mentioned in the bible in Revelations chapter 2. This is the third city that I’ve resided in since I arrived here at the end of February, and my time here has been blessed but also difficult. The Turkish people are very tough to minister to, as the vast majority of them are strongly anchored in the region’s Islamic roots. While everyone here whom I have talked to knows about Christianity, as the early church has many roots here as well, many reject Christ while still respecting Christians because of current societal pressures. This sentiment has made my ministry difficult especially in this city, which is far more ethnic than anywhere else I have visited thus far in Turkey. However the Lord is still providing opportunities for me to meet and talk to unbelievers and speak life into their lives and situations.
As of this time, my team is restricted from traveling further east in Turkey due to the middle eastern conflict transpiring in the surrounding nations. Political unrest is sweeping across Eastern Turkey as well, and at this time, though it was our plan, we will be unable to travel to Antalya and Cappadocia until further notice. Pray that the Lord would continue to bring further peace in this region and that he would continue to guide my steps and abide in His will through His power!

Acts 2:38 ESV
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
1 Corinthians 10:16-17 ESV
