The Beginning

Hey there, my name is Peter Davis. I have four siblings, two older brothers, an older sister and one younger sister. Interesting fact: we were all born in different countries and spread across three continents. This was because my parents where missionaries and so they moved were the Lord led them. I was born in Texas while my parents were in the process of moving from Africa to Turkey. I grew up in Turkey, playing soccer on the street and speaking the lingo like any other Turkish kid.

My story begins when I graduated from high school  We had moved back to the States from Turkey in 2006 and when I felt that God was calling me to help in mission work I instantly thought of Turkey. I wished to go back there but I could not see how that was going to work with finances and who I would go with. I was unable to find some ministry to partner with that did not expect a life long commitment, until I ran into Operation Mobilization. OM is a world wide ministry that concentrates on reaching the unreached and marginalized, and they've been involved with Turkey for forty-nine years now. Because they've been there so long OM has many different active ministries, but I felt particularly led to join the ministry they call TACO (Turkish-Afri-Asian Creative Outreach). The people on this team are musicians, dancers, and actors all with a passion to reach people through the skills that God has blessed them with! I am excited by the prospect of working with TACO because it is a ministry that brings my passion for Turkey together with the love I have for writing and playing music. I don't have any of my songs recorded but you can check out a little of my creative side by reading my poetry blog www.sunshinedontcomeeasy.blogspot.com.

If all goes well and I raise the needed support I will be joining the TACO team in Istanbul at the beginning of January 2013. Before I pick up and move though, I need to raise $6,800 in start up costs and build a team of supports who are committed to partnering with me on a monthly amounting to $1800. When I first heard these numbers I was saw no way that that much money could come in in such a short time. But I have been blown away by the willingness of friends and family to partner with me and contribute to my mission.  I am currently at about 25% of both my start-up and monthly-budget so there is still work to be done, but just as God provides for the sparrow and dresses the lily of the field I know he will provide for me. If you would like to partner with me with a one time gift or even as a monthly supporter please first email me at petersme99@gmail.com and I can give you a few simple steps on how to do that.

I would also appreciate prayer. I can personally attest to the power of prayer to change hearts and make what seems impossible possible. Please write these down somewhere where there's a chance you will see them during the day so that you are reminded of me and my upcoming time in Turkey.

Please pray that...

• I will be mentally prepared for the mission field
• That God will work through me with the TACO team
• And that I would continue to grow in trust in God for financial provision.

God Bless
