Story number 5 for 19 Sep 2001

(Turkey)–And finally, a miracle has taken place in Turkey. According to Christian Aid Mission, the government recently permitted the opening of a Bible bookstore near the U-S Consulate and the Governor’s mansion. The government permitted the opening of the store only if the owners agreed not give away Bibles and agreed to put up a sign in both English and Turkish. The store, however, is allowed to sell Bibles in this predominantly Muslim country. Since its opening, the store has seen more than 550 visitors.
