Turkey

Let's pray specifically for one of the unreached people groups living in Turkey today

Matthew 13:33

"Jesus also used this illustration: 'The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.'"

Pontic Greek People

The Pontic Greeks in Turkey traditionally lived on the southern shores of the Black Sea. They suffered widespread massacres and what is now usually termed "ethnic cleansing" at the beginning of the 20th century. Many found refuge by hiding in the mountains, and others migrated to other countries. The surviving Pontic Greeks converted to Islam which allowed some of them to escape Muslim Turk persecution. There are currently no Christian resources (scripture, videos, etc.) in the Pontic Greek language.

Prayer Point:

Pray that Pontic Greek people would have a relentless curiosity about the Christian faith of their ancestors and spend time learning about it. Pray for the kingdom to spread to every Pontic Greek in Turkey like yeast multiplying through dough. Thank you, Lord, that your Kingdom's advance is unstoppable and uncontainable. Thank you that your Kingdom spreads everywhere, permeating every part including Pontic Greek families and to Antalya.
