Turkey

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

Acts 8:13

"Then Simon himself believed and was baptized. He began following Philip wherever he went, and he was amazed by the signs and great miracles Philip performed."

The Romani People

Romani speaking people originated in India where their ancestors worked as musicians, entertainers, and metal workers. They were discriminated against and excluded from Hindu temples. Later, they were sent to Persia. After traveling south they became known as Middle Eastern Romani. Many live a hard life as refugees or nomads, collecting recycleable goods or begging on the street to pay for food, though some are settled in houses. Romani marriages usually take place between couples in their teens. The quality of health care, nutrition, housing, and education tends to be poor in Romani communities. They are usually Muslim, and they follow the practices and beliefs of the Islamic faith, though there are a few Christians in Turkey.

Prayer Point:

Lord, send your disciple makers to the Romani people and give them ways to serve the needs of their communities for your glory. May many Romani, like Simon, believe in your great power when they witness miracles, and may they choose to surrender their lives to you through baptism. May Romani families discover your truth together in Discovery Bible Studies and share what they learn with everyone around them.
