- Pray that God would divinely protect Lydia and keep her faith strong and growing despite persecutions.
- Pray that the Light of Jesus Christ would shine even brighter through Lydia amid all these persecutions and hardships.
- Pray that all Christians in Lebanon, the Middle East, Central Asia, and all other Islamic regions would keep their faith by the special grace of God.
I have known about SWM for several years. But as I mentioned, during the past few days here, and especially as I participated in these meetings, I have come to learn and understand much more about SWM.
Even though all the meetings were conducted in Korean, I was able to understand what was being discussed. Thanks to technology, I was able to translate everything and follow the conversations.
Before coming here, I thought I knew SWM, but I realized that I really did not know it as well as I thought.
Since coming here, I have heard and seen so much. And the most important thing I have experienced is that you are not simply people who support Türkiye—you truly carry Türkiye in your hearts.
I have seen your commitment to Türkiye and your willingness to sacrifice what has been entrusted to you for the sake of others and for the sake of Türkiye.
My sincere hope is that this gathering for B2N will become a turning point that brings about something truly significant.
As you know, Türkiye has played such an important role throughout the history of Christianity and in the work of God. Shouldn't we long to see that happen again?
If we make every effort to come together in greater unity, if we are willing to listen to one another, if we come together with hearts ready to forgive one another, and if we earnestly seek God's will and cry out to Him together in prayer, I believe we can see spiritual revival begin once again in the land of Türkiye.
As the General Secretary of the Evangelical Alliance, and as a pastor of the church the Lord has called me to serve—but more importantly, as your brother in faith—I sincerely thank you for your love, dedication, and faithful service.
