Martyrs of Malatya: Martyred For the Messiah in Turkey
James WrightPaperback 2015-07-13
Publisher Description
This is a thrilling and yet sobering true story written by a missionary to Turkey. In the preface Todd Jamison (International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Church) says: On April 18, 2007, three men gave their lives for Jesus Christ. Two Turkish Christians and one German ...began their day simply wanting to spend time with local men they thought genuinely wanted to study the Bible. Instead, five hostile young men met their kindness and hospitality with betrayal and treachery. Very few followers of Christ in the rest of the world heard the story. Lost in the flood of news in our information age, it appeared to be just another senseless murder. But the deaths of Necati Aydin, Ugur Yuksel and Tilmann Geske, while perhaps ignored or quickly forgotten even among Christians around the world, continue to speak. They proclaim the truth that there are still those among us committed to witnessing to the gospel in difficult locations. They speak loudly of love for Christ and obedience to Him. They testify above the din about their commitment to share Jesus' own experience of betrayal and sacrifice that purchased salvation for people from every tongue, tribe and nation.
