Has any one investigate, why Turkish government does not permit any fund for church restoration in Turkey. Churches in turkey are old and start crumbling and no body can ask for government fund for restoration. because it is becoming law that churches has no allocation from government, and churches should depend on donation of wealthy christian, or from United States Christian donation to survive. It is inexplicable why we keep building mosques in United States, where in these islamic countries do not provide minimum required for survival of our churches. I lived in Turkey for five years and I have experienced how Christian volunteer to clean the church, and even if there are members assigned to take care of the church, they are paid of United States Christian donations.
