Mediterranean Turks of Turkey

The Christmas holiday season is a great opportunity for Turkish believers to share about their faith. Due to the Western exportation of ideas such as gift-giving, Christmas decor, and even Santa Claus, there can be a lot of misunderstanding around the true meaning of the holiday, but there is curiosity, as well. Shopping malls in Turkey have Christmas trees, and even Christmas carols play in the background of public places, with local people oblivious to the meaning of the songs they are hearing. As believers in Turkey prepare to celebrate, there are natural segues into truth-conversations with friends, neighbors, and family members. Please pray for Turkish believers to have boldness during the holiday season to share the hope of Jesus’ coming. Pray for open hearts among the Mediterranean Turks to the truth.
