On March 17, 2024, through the prayers of believers, a new church, “Alpha and Omega,” was established in one of the historic districts of Istanbul. Regular services have begun, with the primary goal of witnessing about Christ.
During the summer, a missionary team organized evangelistic gatherings, which drew a full house of attendees eager to hear Christian music and learn more about Christ. Some visitors attended for the first time and decided to stay in the church.
In November 2024, the first baptism took place in the newly founded church. We believe that the Lord is continuing His work in building His church and answering the prayers of the faithful.
We earnestly ask for intensified prayers for the spiritual awakening of the Turkish people, who need the light of the Gospel.
On March 22–23, 2025, we held evangelistic services in Istanbul:
📅 March 22 – Among the Russian-speaking population.
📅 March 23 – Among the Turkic-speaking population.
For the first time, a brother from the church was ordained as a pastor in the new congregation.
We need your prayers and financial support for the continuation of this ministry. May the Lord bless you!
