Rubble, tears and sorrow. After the shock of the devastating earthquake, now comes the suffering. Over 48,000 people have died in Turkey and Syria. Thousands still believed to be under the rubble. Desperately have the survivors been searching, waiting, hoping for the miracle that their loved ones will be found alive. Now, large clearing equipment has begun to clear the rubble, carefully, to give the survivors a chance to rescue and burry their dead relatives. 1.6 million people are left without a place of living.
Rubble, tears and sorrow. After the shock of the devastating earthquake, now comes the suffering. Over 48,000 people have died in Turkey and Syria. Thousands still believed tobe under the rubble. Desperately have the survivors been searching, waiting, hoping for the miracle that their loved ones will be found alive. Now, large clearing equipment has begun to clear the rubble, carefully, to give the survivors a chance to rescue and burry their dead relatives. 1.6 million people are left without a place of living.
The conditions for the survivors are dramatic. In the city of Antakya in the epicentre of the earthquake, 90% of the buildings are destroyed. The survivors live in the winter cold, without fresh water, without warm clothing, without a roof over their heads. Those who have a vehicle spend the night in their cars, but many survivors in Antakya still do not know where to find shelter. Entire families are simply living on the streets. Even if houses are still standing, people do not dare to go back because of the danger of collapse.
Most of all, these people need a shelter, a roof over their heads, a place where they can stay warm - especially mothers and children.
There are 157 evangelical churches with a total number of 8.000 believers inTurkey (84 Million people). Over the past 15 years, God has allowed Bible Mission to develop partner relations with churches especially in the South-East of Turkey - which was most hardly affected by the earthquake.
Together with our local contacts on the ground and with the local churches, we want to set up tents to provide simple but safe living conditions for mothers, children, families. By helping people in their need, we want to share Living Hope in the Living God. This is why we call these tents: Hope Tents.
1 Hope Tent will include:
1 Tent $500
1 Stove $100
10 Mattrasses $250
10 Blankets $100
Food for 10 people / 1 month $450
Toilet and washing facility $250
Clothes (for women / children) $400
Hygiene supplies $100
Total cost per Hope Tent: $2.200
1 Hope Tent with equipment will serve 10 people.
Every contribution helps to provide people with a place of refuge and warmth.

Thank you for your prayers and for your support! Your help allows us to equip our local church contacts on the ground to help people who are traumatised, injured - people who have lost everything. We can also share the love of God who sees the need of the people and sends help through His children.
