TURKEY

This secular republic is now ruled by an Islamic party, and some are concerned by the growing authoritarianism of the prime minister. Turks are proud of their culture and history.

Life for Christians

Turkey remains one of the least evangelized countries in the world. More than a century of missionary work has yielded little fruit. Active Christians face hardships ranging from job loss to physical violence and even death. All religious communities are subject to state controls, which limit the right to own places of worship, train clergy and offer religious instruction.

VOM Work

VOM supports front-line workers who share the gospel throughout Turkey, including the remote eastern frontier. We also provide ministries with tools like Bibles and digital media with Christian resources.
