Almost 29,000 Assyrians live in Turkey, and although they’re traditionally from a Christian Orthodox background, many do not follow the teachings of the Bible or have decided to follow other religions, sometimes because of persecution and pressure from their surrounding cultures. Assyrian people are proud of who they are, their traditions, and their unique Aramaic language. They are currently not being engaged with the gospel in Turkey, but God sees them and is pursuing them. He desires that none should perish and that all will come to repentance, following Jesus (2 Peter 3:9). Pray for believers to connect with the Assyrian people in Turkey and joyfully share with them the hope and salvation that is found in Jesus. Pray that the Assyrians will hear the Word of Christ and believe in Him, calling upon the name of the Lord to be saved (Romans 10:14). Ask that they will be saved through faith in Jesus alone and understand it is “not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV). Pray that the Assyrians in Turkey will be transformed by the power of Christ and the Word.
