Diyarbakir Province- Turkey

From Mersin, we headed east to Diyarbakir. We stayed for several days in the local church right across the alley from a 1st Century BC ancient Orthodox Church. Our first show in the area was in Hazro. We started the show with fireworks and had a good crowd. Many DVD's with a powerful message were distributed and we know that God touched hearts in young and old alike!

In Diyarbakir we performed 2 nights in a community park plaza. These were tough shows with a very enthusiastic audience. The police were very helpful creating rope and physical barriers. Our second show was especially challenging with people from the crowd continually throwing water bottles and caps, soda cans, keys, metal game pieces, pebbles, dirt and fireworks onto the stage (no rotten tomatoes!). In spite of the opposition from a small part of the audience, we received many surveys after each show with people wanting more information about the message of Hope we shared.
