English term

to take someone’s overflow of emails

English to Turkish Art/Literary Philosophy Christian Living
Greetings,

How do you say, “to take someone’s overflow of emails”, please?

The ministry of an outstanding lady evangelist called Işık Abla, who has a regular spot on Mohabat TV, one of the many Persian-language Christian TV channels, is currently bearing much fruit.

This has actually caused something of a problem, albeit a problem we're happy to have: so many enquiries about Jesus Christ are being sent to Işık Abla that there is no way that she and her team can cope with them, so at a meeting of church leaders in İzmir the day before yesterday we decided that we would do our best to help by offering to take Işık Abla’s overflow of emails.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon

See explanation.

Ask only linguisgtic questions not ones always related to Christianity!
Note from asker:
Dear Salih, I'm surprised you say ‘always’ – please look at my question list and you will see that the majority of my questions are completely unconnected with Christianity. But when they have a Christian context, you put me in a difficult position if you ask me to ask without context, as this would be against the rules of the forum, which always asks for a context. Do let me know if there is any way I can be helpful to you and further address any concerns you may have. God bless you, Simon
