Christians make up less than 1% of the population of Turkiye, which is 96% Sunni Muslim. When a Turkish Muslim chooses to follow Christ, they are often rejected by their families, a reality experienced by Mustafa and Basak. Mustafa grew up in a radical Islamic family but became a Christian as a teenager. His decision shocked his family, who have been pressuring him to renounce his new faith. Mustafa currently has no place to live, so a local church is housing him in their church building while he looks for work and more permanent housing. Basak was also raised in a devout Islamic home, but after she was invited to a Christian activity at her university and given a Bible, she trusted in Christ. Her family then rejected her and is also trying to convince her to return to Islam. When Basak graduates from university in a few months’ time, she will have no place to live until she can find a job and earn income to support herself.
Please pray…
Pray that Mustafa and Basak will continue to grow in their faith and reject any attempts by their families to get them to return to Islam.
Pray that the Lord will provide Mustafa and Basak with a jobs so they can support themselves and live on their own.
Pray that the Lord will draw more and more Muslim Turks to Jesus through dreams and visions and the witness of Christians.
