“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6:
O Great and Eternal Prince of Peace, we earnestly come to You on behalf of Salim and the prayer teams he is coordinating in the many communities and towns near Istanbul, Turkey. We ask for divine revelation to return to this great city that was once a fortress of righteousness for the church but has now become a stronghold of other religions. Your word has revealed this in Philippians 4:6: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Be with Salim today as his team walks the streets, eats with friends, and prays in the name of our Savior for many to receive healing and understanding of their Savior. Bring them people whose hearts have been turned to You through miracle signs and wonders, and grant Salim’s team favor as they share the words of life. In Jesus’ name, Amen. |

Istanbul, formerly Constantinople, is the largest city in Turkey. Having been the capital of both the Byzantine and Ottoman empire, Istanbul has been a coveted city for more than 2,500 years.
At the peak of its power, the Ottoman empire stretched all throughout the1 Middle East and North Africa. Acting as a bridge between Europe and Asia, Istanbul has also been heavily influenced by western progressivism.
In spite of its global influx and modernization, the Turks remain one of the largest frontier people groups on the planet. It is for reasons such as these that Istanbul represents a significant, strategic hub for the church.
