Türkiye
We desire to see new fellowships emerge in cities where there currently are none
The population of this country of 85 million has fewer than 10,000 believers in Jesus, making this still the largest underserved country in the world. At the same time, it hosts 4 million refugees, more than any other country in the world. But the people are hungry for change and meaning, and the younger generation and the displaced show a great interest in the hope the gospel gives. We feel an urgent call to respond to the deep needs of the people of Türkiye with the love of Jesus.
We have sent families to cities around Türkiye to assist nationals in local church planting. Our team also maintains active and supportive relationships with local believers in areas where there are no churches. We are praying for the Lord to provide workers that we can send to partner with local believers in planting fellowships in these unreached regions.
Who do we serve in Türkiye?
We serve among ethnic Turks, Kurds, or Arabs. We also serve asylum seekers and refugee candidates fleeing conflict throughout the surrounding region. Most of our ministry is conducted in Turkish but we also are involved in ministries in the Arabic and Persian languages.
How do we serve?
Our projects are aimed toward local church development. We team with local believers to plant churches in unreached provinces, and mentor leaders in the Turkish and Arabic-speaking church.
What is our vision for Türkiye?
We have identified Turkish-speaking and Arabic-speaking groups in various provinces without leadership. We desire additional workers to partner with local believers and establish fellowships in these underserved areas.
