Istanbul: From zero to 30 Christian fellowships in 30 years

Istanbul's population is officially 12 million. A Christian friend writes, "When I first came in 1979, there were less than a dozen Muslim background believers. By the early 1990's there were only four or five fellowships. But now I can count up to about thirty, and quite a few of these are Turkish-led by Muslim background believers."

Thank the Lord for the ongoing work of His Kingdom in this enormous city.
