Participant from Nashville and Denver
I just want to thank you for starting and continuing this ministry for the Kurdish people! I have loved and thoroughly enjoyed coming on these trips and making new friends and being able to share my testimony with people. What I want to tell all of you is how I have been feeling towards the Kurdish guys and what I am thinking about now. When I came back from Nashville, I had this pain in my heart whenever I thought about the Kurdish guys, but mainly when I thought about Hawar, Maky, and Gudar. It would be a deep pain and it would last for several minutes. God was really trying to tell me something about them.

I went to a Bible camp in Pennsylvania this last week and I got even more close to God there. One of the speakers there, Ron Blue, was so excited for the youth that it encouraged me to grow in God and be like Him. During one of his sermons, he talked about this missionary who was captured and eventually was killed. Ron Blue found a note that this man wrote before he was captured and it said something along the lines that the country he was in needed a martyr and he was willing to be that person. Ron asked us to come to the front if we wanted to give our life to full-time missions. I didn't hear what he said at the time, but I just felt the Holy Spirit pushing me to go up front. And I did.

I wanted to let all of you know what God has done in my life this summer. And I want to thank you for challenging me in my spiritual walk during Nashville and for helping me overcome some of my problems. I am definetely looking forward to the TWO week trip next year and I am so excited to see what God is going to do over the next year with your ministry. Thank you so much again and God bless!
