April 18 - Day of Prayer for Turkey

This Sunday the Christians in Turkey are asking Christians all over the world to pray for the church in Turkey. On April 18, 2007 three Christians were brutally tortured and murdered and April 18th is dedicated as a “Global Day of Prayer for Turkey.”

The Turkish church is asking that we...
  1. Pray God would uncover the lies about Christianity, soften the hearts of the people of Turkey, and redeem the negative memories in their history.
  2. Pray that the Turkish believers would walk closely with Jesus in all circumstances.
  3. Pray that the Holy Spirit would be poured out on their nation so that more people would know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Pray for Turkey has a great 4 minute video summarizing their plea for prayer.
