Aslan International Ministries Celebrating 20 years of ministry in Turkey!

Johnny and I took turns sleeping on the only thing that was in our jail cell - a bench.  We spent our time singing and praying to Jesus, waiting to be set free.  We had been arrested for distributing New Testaments in Turkey,  a Muslim country.  The police took our fingerprints, mug shots, and sent us back to our cell.   We were interrogated over and over again.

That was many years ago.  Now, over half a million Turkish New Testaments have been distributed!  Turkish believers have been trained, and sent out to evangelize.  Four New Testament book companies have been started.  We've been arrested and harassed over 40 times. We've done open air preaching and endured many threats.  Our team has been beat up, spit on, heckled, and even deported. 

Islamic seminaries began to order New Testaments from us every year to give out to their students.

Aslan International Ministries
We've done over 20 types of evangelism - open air preaching, prayer outreaches, Prayer Hotlines, festivals, counseling tables, door-to-door survey, and many more types of evangelism.

Thousands of people have called in to the Prayer Hotlines.  People called in to say how they were healed, their debts were canceled, they found jobs, and court cases were unexplainably dropped.

We gave out tens of thousands of New Testaments on the streets.  The newspapers took notice of what God was doing and said, "No one is saying stop them!  They are gripping Turkey like an octopus!" The former  Prime Minister and his wife said, "We are losing our religion.  They are giving out New Testaments on the streets."

Virtually every person who has become a believer in Turkey, has done so by first reading some portion of the Turkish New Testament.

Now, we are reaching out to the poor. A widow, Ayse, had tears in her eyes saying, "Everyone has forgotten     us, but now you Christians are here!"

God is still at work in Turkey and through out the world and we give Him all the praise and glory!
