Why Türkiye Needs Hope

Türkiye (Turkey) is a hard place. Nearly 97% of the current population is at least nominally Muslim. Only 7,000-10,000 evangelical Christians remain. Few Muslims living in Türkiye have ever heard a thorough or truthful representation of the gospel. In fact, Islam is so ingrained in Turkish life that many people say that to be a Turk is to be a Muslim, and to convert to Christianity is treason.

The sad history of the Crusades has cemented a hatred of Christianity that carries all the way to the present. And yet, even in this very hard place, the church is slowly growing. Dedicated supporters of Words of Hope are making it possible to reach out from within the region with both Christian television and radio programs that are connecting people to life-changing good news.
