PLANTING CHURCHES IN TURKEY: CHRISTMAS 2018
|
Join us in supporting a good cause? The Rock A Christian Church desires to plant TWO new churches in the country of Turkey. Join us in sowing the seeds of the Gospel of Jesus Christ where the Apostle Paul once planted churches in Galatia (now modern day Turkey) and is now 98% Muslim. Let us sow abundantly as to reap an abundant harvest.
DID YOU KNOW? It only takes $400/month to support one local pastor who will be equipped to disciple, teach and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ...That amounts to $4,800/year. We are raising funds this Christmas season to launch two churches. Will you join us on #GivingTuesday, November 27, 2018 as Facebook and Paypal will match dollar for dollar? Our goal is $10,000. The Rock A Christian Church and your contribution will make an eternal impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps. As of November 28, 2018, we have reached our goal of supporting TWO church plants for 12 months. Although the matching grants of Facebook & Paypal have concluded, we will continue to accept donations as there are 6-8 pastors equipped to launch a church plant but lack the resources to do so. Why not go for THREE church plants for 2019? CLICK on the following link to make your donation: CHURCH PLANTS IN TURKEY or CLICK the "Donate" button below . (Please keep in mind that PayPal or Facebook will deduct a 4% fee). If you would rather have 100% of your donation applied to the church plant, you may make your donation out to "The Rock A Christian Church" and designate it "Church Planting in Turkey" and mail it to the office address below. Thank you for partnering with us in re-seeding the landscape of Turkey where once the Gospel of Jesus Christ flourished. |
Pastor Emre serves a church about an hour outside of Istanbul. The church is composed of about 25 attendees, most of them coming from Muslim backgrounds. A couple of years ago, Emre was contacted by the police that there was a plot to kill him. A conspiracy of almost 20 people had been planning to take his life. Two members of this conspiracy even started attending the church, pretending to be interested in Christianity. Emre so trusted these two that he even asked them to babysit his children. By God’s grace, this plot was discovered just in time. Emre, his wife and two young children are safe. But some of these conspirators are still free as a trial drags on. Please pray for the safety of this dear brother in Christ and his family!

RESPONDING WITH GOD'S LOVE TO THE MASS SHOOTING: OCTOBER 1, 2017
|
In the wake of the horrific event, October 1, 2017, as innocent people were mercilessly gunned down, our city is sieged with fear and pain. Evil manifested itself in the most ugliest way. Our city needs God's love to manifest itself in the most excellent way. Let us unite and descend to our knees in prayer and at the same time rise up to our feet as an army of God's love. Let the light of God and the message of love push back the darkness of evil and triumph over it. Let us overcome evil with God's love. Let us bear the arms of love and extend unconditional love to the suffering and the lost. Let our worship of God manifest itself in our acts of loving kindness. Let us respond without hesitation and conquer evil with good. Thank you God for an amazing church family that truly lives out the Gospel of love and light.
