Sommaire:
The account of a missionary in Turkey and the blessings and horrors that accompany his service Martin de Lange was happily married, enjoying his job as a photographer in South Africa's police force. But stirred with passion for the spiritually lost in Turkey, he uprooted his little family and headed north to Turkey. A land where, he discovered, people ask obtrusive questions, the government watches every move, and men think his wife is a prostitute. Over a period of fifteen years, Martin gradually became fluent in Turkish, set up Bible distribution networks, and pastored a growing fellowship. Turkey took its toll though. Marriage difficulties, police harassment, and loneliness led both Martin and his wife, Petro, to crises of faith. As threats mounted, Martin was faced with a difficult choice: Head for the safety of home or live where God has led them. Finally they were blacklisted and forced to leave. Martin and Petro now travel the world, raising prayer and support for the Turkish church.
