About Us

Hi, we welcome you to the ASLAN International Ministries’ website!

Working for over 25 years in the Middle East, Drs. Evan and Mary Jane Edwards founded ASLAN International. Feeding the poor, distributing over half a million New Testaments and Bibles, opening Prayer and Crisis Hotlines in four cities – this is the heartbeat of ASLAN International.

In spite of numerous arrests – now the Turkish Religious Affairs Department has called it one of the foremost strategies, and one of the well-known Christian services in Turkey. Over 1000 national newspaper articles have been written about the ministry work in Turkey, and most recently a Warner Brothers movie.

The books, “It’s a Happy Life” and “Purely Joy” tell the stories behind the scenes of the work ASLAN International in Turkey.

Loving the poor, training nationals, planting churches, transformed lives, is all a part of ASLAN’s work in the nation of Turkey.

Together with you – our aim is to demonstrate compassion, mercy, and a passion for people.

Joy Edwards

Purely Joy

This is a uproariously entertaining look into the life of a young woman, chasing her dreams, but instead found herself being chased by terrorists. Afraid to even venture out the door due to danger as the daughter of missionaries in the Middle East, she embraced the entertaining aspect of dodging spies (if you can’t shake ‘em, take a yellow taxi)! Embracing purity, embracing life – this is a story that will inspire you to live life to the full.

When all you can do is peek out from under the covers when you hear the sirens – there is hope. Hope that despite your fears – life can be fun. And even when you face pain, God’s love for you will bring out the sweetness of life. It’s been… Purely Joy.
