Dear Friends

Some of you know the story of the two boys, Barish and Mehmet,
who were electrocuted this summer after touching a high voltage
electric wire.
After my call to Grace Hour some people have sent help for the family.
We have received a little bit over one thousand dollars from our
friends from America and Europe.
The boys are now both out of the hospital after their limbs were
amputated. The sudden pain has started a painful journey with
a lot of uncertainties and obstacles.
These two families live in a remote area in Eastern Turkey and
it’s clear that they will not be able to get the medical assistance
for the boys in their village.
Ilhan, Barish’s father and his brother are the only two who have
been working , providing for these two families with eight children
altogether. For almost three months they have not been working
as they have tried to manage the details of this tragedy.
I strongly feel, that we all should do our best to help these two families.
The least we can do for them is to help them to move to Istanbul.
We are looking for support to help the family to move,
to rent two apartments in the outskirts of Istanbul,
get all children to the school and turn a new
page in this painful journey. This doesn’t include the support that
is needed for their medical assistance and rehabilitation.
In the midst of all these trials we strongly believe that God’s grace
is sufficient and this all can turn to a great victory for God’s glory.
Please, pray for Ilhan and his family and for us as we seek for help
from our Christian family around the world.
All support goes directly to the family with us overseeing the
spending of the support.
Your gifts can be sent to the Greater Grace Church , Missions
Office in Baltimore with the reference “Barish”.

There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
