font-size: 16px;\">This outreach was built on the theme verse of Isaiah 61:1\u20133, and we went out into the land of Turkey carrying the theme, \u201cLift up your voice and comfort my people (UP!!).\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">Turkey is the land the apostle Paul traveled on his missionary journeys, and it carries a deep spiritual heritage \u2014 home to the Seven Churches of Revelation and to the history of the early church. It was also where the Council of Nicaea was held, leaving behind a significant legacy of early church history and faith. This land, once a vital channel for the gospel, has now become a Muslim-majority nation where Christians make up only about 0.0001% of the population \u2014 roughly 8,000 believers. Yet we walked this land trusting that God would restore it again.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">Though we ministered as one team of eleven, we divided into three regions \u2014 Istanbul, Izmir, and Antalya \u2014 and spent our time in worship and intercession, sharing the Word, and serving the missionaries and their local ministries.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #191d21; margin: 56px 0 20px; border-bottom: 2px solid #FF6D20; padding-bottom: 10px;\">[ Istanbul ]<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">Turkey\u2014a land where the Word of God once flourished. And at its heart, Istanbul, a city bridging Asia and Europe. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">What struck us most there was the Turkish flag flying everywhere across the city. The flag, bearing the crescent moon and star, seemed to embody this land\u2019s strong sense of national and religious identity, echoing alongside the sound of the call to prayer. <\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; gap: 16px; margin: 0 0 28px; flex-wrap: wrap;\">\n<figure style=\"margin: 0; flex: 1; min-width: 200px;\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 260px; object-fit: cover; border-radius: 8px; display: block;\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/uofnjejustory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/\uc774\uc2a4\ud0c4\ubd881-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Bible cover-making\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 13px; color: #888888; margin-top: 8px;\">Bible cover-making<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"margin: 0; flex: 1; min-width: 200px;\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 260px; object-fit: cover; border-radius: 8px; display: block;\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/uofnjejustory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/\uc774\uc2a4\ud0c4\ubd882-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Turkish flag flying high\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 13px; color: #888888; margin-top: 8px;\">The Turkish flag flying high<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"margin: 0; flex: 1; min-width: 200px;\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 260px; object-fit: cover; border-radius: 8px; display: block;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27768%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20768%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27768%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/uofnjejustory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/\uc774\uc2a4\ud0c4\ubd883-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Worship in Istanbul\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 13px; color: #888888; margin-top: 8px;\">Worship in Istanbul<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">Our UP team experienced, even in a small way, how deeply God loves Turkey \u2014 through intercession and worship, teaching and reading through Scripture, a Bible cover-making ministry, and on-site prayer. We also witnessed how, through worshipers who obey God\u2019s calling, we saw how God was making small openings in what had seemed like a massive and immovable spiritual barrier. And we came to hope that this land\u2019s pride would one day be found not in Islam or a sense of national superiority, but in love for and faith in Jesus Christ.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">When we asked a missionary who has served in Turkey for over thirty years, \u201cIs there a special strategy God has given you for this nation?\u201d \u2014 the answer was, \u201cThere is no special strategy.

At first, that truth didn\u2019t move me deeply. But in Izmir, as I listened to this land\u2019s story and to the missionaries\u2019 own life stories, I began to see not only how God was working through these missionaries, but also how deeply He loves the people of Turkey. Little by little, I began to learn the Father\u2019s heart toward this land.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">Turkey was once home to the seven churches, but is now part of the Islamic world. Even so, God has kept a remnant of believers here, and He is still at work among them. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">Because of that, I came to believe that just as God loves them, I too should hold them in love and keep praying for them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 40px; font-size: 15px; text-align: right; color: #888888; font-style: italic;\">\u2013 Jung Jong-won, student<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #191d21; margin: 56px 0 20px; border-bottom: 2px solid #FF6D20; padding-bottom: 10px;\">[ Antalya ]<\/h3>\n<blockquote style=\"border-left: 4px solid #FF6D20; background-color: #f7f5f2; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 0 0 24px; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; color: #191d21;\">\n<p>They preached the word in Perga, then went down to Attalia.

Praying in Antalya, surrounded by the beautiful Mediterranean and the Taurus Mountains, the words of Matthew 11:28 came to mind: \u201cCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.\u201d God gave me a sense that He wants to use this place as a place of rest and restoration for weary missionaries and ministry workers.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">I also found myself reflecting on Paul, who sailed from this very place toward Antioch, and on the footsteps of the faithful who labored for the gospel before us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">Our team taught SBS methodology, Galatians, Ephesians, and the intertestamental period to four missionaries.

Among them, I spent time in worship and ministry at the Houses of Prayer in both Istanbul and Izmir. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">At the Istanbul House of Prayer, we led a Korean-language worship service and shared the message of the Prodigal Son, praying that in this land \u2014 once home to the seven churches \u2014 people would rise up once again to worship God.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">At the Izmir House of Prayer, which welcomes people from many nations, we lifted our worship toward the throne of God. There was a powerful sense of God\u2019s presence and anointing. Even though there are still very few people in Turkey worshiping God, we sensed God\u2019s assurance that revival is coming to this land.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">On our last day in Izmir, our team members \u2014 who had been scattered across three regions \u2014 gathered together at the Izmir House of Prayer.

It also confirmed for us that we are truly part of one Body in the same Spirit, as the missionaries shared how our visit and teaching had brought them comfort and encouragement. We didn\u2019t always know how to comfort them, but God used the Word and fellowship to make us a channel of comfort.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">After our final lecture in the third week, we held a Love Feast alongside a \u201cKing\u2019s Banquet.\u201d The King\u2019s Banquet was an event where the missionaries creatively reenacted stories of the kings from the books of Kings, taking on the roles of the kings of Israel and Judah through creative role-play. After sharing a joyful meal together, the Jeju SBS team and the TMSBS team closed out our time together by holding hands and praying over one another\u2019s prayer requests.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">Our time with TMSBS became a time of confirming that, though each of us lives in different circumstances, regions, and forms of ministry, we are all one family in the same Spirit \u2014 members of one Body following Christ, our Head.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 40px; font-size: 15px; text-align: right; color: #888888; font-style: italic;\">\u2013 Kim Mi-seon, staff<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #191d21; margin: 56px 0 20px; border-bottom: 2px solid #FF6D20; padding-bottom: 10px;\">[ Refugee Ministry ]<\/h3>\n<div style=\"display: flex; gap: 16px; margin: 0 0 28px; flex-wrap: wrap;\">\n<figure style=\"margin: 0; flex: 1; min-width: 200px;\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 260px; object-fit: cover; border-radius: 8px; display: block;\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/uofnjejustory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/\ub09c\ubbfc\uc0ac\uc5ed1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Bonding with the children through games\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 13px; color: #888888; margin-top: 8px;\">Bonding with the children through games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"margin: 0; flex: 1; min-width: 200px;\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 260px; object-fit: cover; border-radius: 8px; display: block;\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/uofnjejustory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/\ub09c\ubbfc\uc0ac\uc5ed2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Joining hands in prayer\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 13px; color: #888888; margin-top: 8px;\">Joining hands in prayer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; gap: 16px; margin: 0 0 28px; flex-wrap: wrap;\">\n<figure style=\"margin: 0; flex: 1; min-width: 200px;\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 260px; object-fit: cover; border-radius: 8px; display: block;\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/uofnjejustory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/\ub09c\ubbfc\uc0ac\uc5ed3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Shrinky Dinks craft-making\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 13px; color: #888888; margin-top: 8px;\">Shrinky Dinks craft-making<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"margin: 0; flex: 1; min-width: 200px;\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 260px; object-fit: cover; border-radius: 8px; display: block;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27768%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20768%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27768%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/uofnjejustory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/\ub09c\ubbfc\uc0ac\uc5ed4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Filming Reels \u00b7 Ministry to Women\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 13px; color: #888888; margin-top: 8px;\">Filming Reels \u00b7 Ministry to Women<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">Our team carried out ministry among Syrian refugees twice \u2014 during the first and third weeks. The first session was for nine teenagers, and the second was for twenty-one children in grades 3\u20134. We spent our time bonding with the children through Shrinky Dinks craft-making, filming reels to Akdong Musician\u2019s music, and all kinds of games. Most of the missionaries serving there were seniors who had come to the field after retirement. Two missionary couples had been serving there for one to three years, while one woman had served for more than ten years and one man for more than twenty.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">One of the most memorable moments was watching the missionaries greet each child with genuine warmth and a high-five as they rang the bell and walked in, one by one. Seeing the way they treated the children naturally as friends and served them with genuine love deeply challenged and inspired me. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">One especially striking testimony came through a missionary, about something a child had said. When asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she answered, \u201cI want to live a life like the teachers here at the center and the teams that visit us.\u201d That answer seemed to show just how powerfully the missionaries\u2019 lives had become an example to these children.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 20px; font-size: 16px;\">There are various classes offered there, but English and guitar are taught for a specific reason \u2014 so that the children can one day sing a song of worship, becoming worshipers themselves. That\u2019s why their prayer request isn\u2019t for a house, but for a center \u2014 a building \u2014 where they can worship freely, without restraint. May the day come soon when a place of worship is established there, and when the children and women who come through its doors are raised up as worshipers.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 40px;
