Karamursel
I was born in Karamürsel, Turkey, back in 1961.
This is what it looked like back then. I would like to go there and teach in the American School. I could spread the Gospel steadily, proclaiming Christ a hundred times a day.
I greatly miss living abroad. Fourteen years in South Korea was a delight. There seems to be something good about believers leaving their homeland and going to another location. Jesus seems to have said something to the effect that no prophet is accepted in his home country.
My oldest son and I have long considered moving to a small mountain village in the hinterland of North Korea, "buying" some land there and growing food, raising honey bees, teaching honeybee craft, making wooden ware for various kinds of beekeeping equipment, and teaching juggling, baduk, and the Bible to the village people interested in learning those sorts of things. He and I speak the language; whereas, the other children were exposed to the language, but do not remember much of it, being respectively 11, 10, 7, and 3 when they moved here. They each got exposure to Korean language six hours a day at the Korean daycare centers five days a week from age 12 to 36 months, a good start. Then, they played with friends using Korean only, and did schooling, including hagwons, private afternoon and evening schools for various arts, sports, and academic pursuits.
Our hagwon experiences included swimming, baduk, art, piano, kumdo, and ballet. South Koreans attend a larger percentage of academic hagwons, such as science, English, Korean language, math, history, and thus and such.

Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. Luke 4:24.
