Overview

Trade and Islam beat a path through the Silk Roads of Central Asia, much of which could not be changed by 70 years of Soviet rule. Most of the languages here have been Turkish-based since the early days of Turkey’s Ottoman Empire. Most other languages in this region are based on Farsi, the tongue of Persia, Central Asia’s other traditional world power. The marginally Muslim peoples of the Turkish World are looking for a new identity. Will they make their identity in Christ, or in something much lower?

God would speak to individuals through dreams and visions as he did with Yerkin so that their hearts are prepared and receptive to the Gospel.

God Of All Peoples

For God to change the idea that to become a Christian means I lose my cultural identity and to reveal that He has come to us as Emmanuel, God with Us, so that He even speaks our language and answers our hearts” cries.
