Over these summer months I have the special privilege of mentoring Oguz Nurettin Alhan as a pastoral intern at Redeemer Presbyterian Church here in Austin, Texas. Oguz is from Smyrna, Turkey (cf. Rev. 2:8-11) and he is currently a student at Westminster Seminary in CA. Pray for Oguz as we expose him to all the facets pastoral ministry, and for me as I seek to instruct him in the many duties of a God-loving, long-suffering, and tender-hearted shepherd of the flock (Ezek. 34:15-17; Acts 20:28; 1 Pet. 5:1-5).
