Prayer Fuel

Field Team Daily Prayer Request:

Heavenly Father, today we lift up the ministry of “Mark” in Gaziantep, Türkiye. Ever since the earthquake there several years ago, “Mark” has found many opportunities to share his faith in You. Today we ask that You would open homes and hearts, and that the ministry “Mark” has sown into would increase—so that it would go from evangelism and discipleship to become a movement of disciples making disciples.

In Malachi 3:1, You have declared, “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple.” We ask that, in the spirit of this prophecy, You would freshly anoint “Mark” and give him and his teams the strength and courage to boldly proclaim Your name. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

110 City Focus: Gaziantep, Türkiye

I live in Gaziantep, a city near the Syrian border — a meeting place of nations, stories, and sorrows. Our land, Turkey, carries the legacy of Scripture: nearly 60% of the places mentioned in the Bible lie within our borders. This was once a land of apostles and churches, where the Word of God spread like fire through Asia Minor. But today, the landscape has changed. Minarets rise on every horizon, and the Turks remain one of the largest unreached peoples in the world.

Gaziantep is known for its warmth, its food, and its resilience. Yet beneath the surface, there is deep pain. More than half a million Syrian refugees now live among us — families who fled war only to face new struggles here. Their presence reminds me daily that this city is both a place of refuge and a field ready for harvest. As Turkey stands between Europe and the Middle East, both the currents of Western progress and Islamic tradition flow through us, shaping a culture full of tension and possibility.

I believe God has not forgotten Turkey. The same Spirit that once moved through Ephesus and Antioch is moving again. In Gaziantep, I see small gatherings of believers — Turks, Kurds, and Syrians — worshiping together, praying for healing, and daring to believe that Jesus can rebuild what war and religion have destroyed. My prayer is that one day, it will be said again of this land: “All who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord.”
