Pray for the Turks in Germany:
Lord, you are high above all nations, and your glory above the heavens! (Psalm 113:4). Thank you for the work of your faithful followers who have tirelessly translated many resources into Turkish. Lord, we ask you to please bless the missionary efforts towards the Turks in Germany, that they would encounter the gospel message and know the liberation of your transforming love. We pray that as they continue to shape their Turkish identity amongst German culture that they would encounter their deepest core identity as your sons and daughters. Soften the soil of their hearts, so that when they consider the impact of salvation in their lives, that they would one day come to bask in the light of your glory. This we ask in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

The Turks are the largest ethnic minority group in Germany. Their roots date back to the 1960s when ""Gastarbeiter"" (guest workers) were recruited to address labor shortages to work in factories and infrastructure projects. Over time, the community grew through family reunifications and new immigration waves. They brought their religion, culture and tradition with them and now Turkish is the second largest language in Germany.Through conditions have improved, the Turks often face discrimination. Only one-sixth of Turks have German citizenship because Germany does not typically allow for dual citizenship. Because of this, many Turks maintain political ties with Turkey.
The Turks are nominally Sunni Muslim. The tradition of the Sunni is political conformism, though the Turks have been more flexible than many of their Muslim neighbors.
