Turkish peoples, or Turks, are one of the 10 largest unreached people groups in the world. There are anywhere from 150,000 to 500,000 Turkish people in the United States, depending on how they are classified (i.e. whether they migrated from Turkey, The Balkans, Cyprus, or the former Soviet Union), and over 500 Turks in Arkansas.  Most of them live in Jonesboro and Little Rock. Turkish culture has been influenced by Oriental people groups to their east and European people groups to their west. In Arkansas, Turkish culture can be experienced through numerous associations and festivals, including many events for women. Over 98% of all Turks are Muslims, while only around 1% are either Christian or Jewish.

Prayer Points

• Pray that God would soften the hearts of evangelical Christians toward Turks, and soften the hearts of Turks toward the Gospel.
• Pray that God would reveal himself through dreams, visions, and miracles.
• Pray that God would raise up Turkish-speaking believers who will declare the Gospel among friends and family
