Dear seetal chile,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regina has recovered well from her second hip operation, is diligently doing her exercises and is back at work in the office of a Salvation Army congregation in Zurich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the summer holidays, it will become clear which Bible study groups among Turkish-speaking people will continue and which will \u2018fall dormant\u2019. Two new groups are planned in Winterthur and Aarau, where Markus will be involved. In autumn, MEOS invites you to visit its staff directly at their places of work (programme: www.meos.ch). On 5 and 6 September 2025, the doors of the office in Adliswil will be open. From September onwards, the new monthly calendars will be available in various languages from MEOS Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Various acquaintances from Turkey report that their asylum applications have been rejected. Some have lodged appeals, others must leave Switzerland. One man has been in a secure psychiatric clinic since his application was rejected. At the same time, we are observing how accepted asylum seekers are organising themselves into Muslim religious associations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than two years on, the situation in the earthquake zone in Turkey remains difficult: many families are living in overcrowded container cities (only around 4,700 of the 27,000 state-built homes have been occupied) with inadequate sanitary facilities. The destruction of health facilities (only four of 13 in Ad\u0131yaman have been rebuilt) and the loss of medical personnel have severely restricted access to basic care. A study shows that the quality of life of container dwellers is significantly worse than that of the general population (report by M\u00e9decins-du-Monde-T\u00fcrkiye).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new pastor for the congregation in Ad\u0131yaman moved there in mid-August with his wife and four children and has begun his work. The children have to get used to new schools, teachers and classmates. They have come from a lively congregation with many families to a rather isolated place where they are building up the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you very much for your support and prayers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
