Introduction

Like many young people in today's world, the new generation of Turks living in Moscow is consumed by the pursuit of pleasure. Food, drink and dating are among their top priorities. Though they are officially Muslim, their worldview is secular. Many do not practice Islam, seeing it as their heritage and culture, but not as something that affects their daily lives. Many Turkish people have immigrated to Russia since 2000, mostly through marriage to Russian citizens. Many have been deprived of political and social privileges and have been prohibited from owning property and employment. Turks will need to hear of the glory and goodness of the Lord through the JESUS Film and other audio and visual materials. These can be distributed to them or downloaded.

Ministry Obstacles

Christianity is viewed as the religion of the Russians and other peoples. A Turk in Russia would not easily dare to embrace the Lord.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Ask the Lord to capture their hearts through dreams and visions. Pray they would reach their families and countrymen in Russia and in Turkey for Christ. Pray for the fervent believers to reach out in faith and love to the Muslim Turks among them. Pray for a spiritual hunger among Turks that will be satisfied by none other than the only savior, Jesus Christ. Pray for a Disciple Making Movement among Turks to spread far and wide throughout Russia.
