[Field Story] TSR that will turn sorrow into joy and give glory only to Jesus

(The photo above is unrelated to the content)

Hello, I am Inas, a Syrian refugee living in Turkiye.

I did not come to Türkiye because of the war like other Syrians, but I am a refugee who fled here because of my father's severe domestic violence.

The whole family, except for the father, came to Turkiye with difficulty, but one day, when the broken hearts could not be recovered, they happened to meet Christians on the road.

They shared with me about Jesus. The story of him who died to save me deeply touched my heart, but I had no choice but to avoid it because I thought that if I believed in him, I would be retaliated by my family.

However, after a while, I met Jesus in a dream, and I experienced Jesus more clearly in the worship gathering where I had the courage to go out and accepted Him as my Savior.

My family's retaliation still frightens me, but Jesus pours out greater love on me. Please pray for me and my family so that our family will eventually come to realize about Jesus.

You have turned my sorrow into dancing; You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy. I will not be silent, but will praise you with my glory. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever (Psalm 30:11-12)

Thank you Lord for loving Sister Inas and letting her hear the gospel and accepting Jesus as her Savior through dreams and worship gatherings.

We praise you for healing her broken heart from this sister, who ran away from her father and domestic violence. Now she is filled by the grace of the joy of meeting Jesus.

We believe that the Lord who turned Sister Inas' sorrow into joy, will also turn the sorrows in her sister's family into joy.

May Sister Inas' family become a church that accepts Jesus as their Savior by covering all her guilt with the love of Jesus even to the point of death on the cross.

Also, let Sister Inas now open her mouth to praise Jesus and fulfill her calling of preaching the gospel.

May she be a sister who gives glory only to Jesus by preaching the gospel to refugees who has lost their lives during war and testifying to sisters who have been hurt from their family, just like herself.

Thus, may TSR be filled with the joy that the Lord pours out through her sister Inas, and let it become a nation that serves the Arabs and the nations with joy as a nation of high priests of the Arabs!
