Turkey is a land of great Biblical significance, as approximately 60% of the places mentioned in the Bible are in the nation. Despite Turkey’s history in the Way of God, the nation has more mosques than any other country, and the Turks remain one of the largest frontier people groups.

As Turkey is a bridge between Europe and the Middle East, Western progressivism has also strongly influenced the nation. These factors make Turkey a prominent harvest field. Let it be said once again that “all who lived in Asia (Turkey) heard the word of the Lord”.

Varanasi is a city in the Uttar Pradesh state of northern India. As can be seen by the miles of ghats, temples, and shrines lining the river Ganges, Varanasi is the holiest site in Hinduism, drawing more than 2.5 million religious devotees yearly. India’s government is a constitutional republic representing a highly diverse population with thousands of ethnic groups, hundreds of languages, and a complex caste system.

The nation has a convoluted social and cultural history, featuring a rich intellectual life in the sciences, arts, and religious tradition. After gaining independence from the British in 1947, India split from the predominantly Muslim regions of present-day Pakistan and Bangladesh. Despite earnest attempts to unify the country, tensions between rival ethnic groups and religious sects, rich and poor, have further divided the nation.

Burdening the country further, India has more abandoned children than any nation, with over 30 million orphans wandering bustling streets and railway stations. This cultural dynamism creates immense challenges for the central government but an enormous opportunity for the church of India to step into the harvest fields moved with compassion and great expectation.
