The majority of the Anatolian Turk of Iraq are Muslims of the Hanafite tradition. In their homes, most Anatolian observe the formalities associated with being Muslim. They attend services at the mosque and pray more than once a day, provided these rituals do not interfere with the work that needs to be done. While many basic Christian resources are available to the Anatolian Turk, no missions agency is currently targeting them, and there are only four known believers among them. The situation in Iraq makes it difficult to reach them.
Prayer is the key to seeing doors for ministry opened in Iraq.
Prayer Points Ask the Lord to open doors into Iraq for the Gospel message to go forth. Pray that God will reveal Himself to the Anatolian Turk through dreams and visions. Pray that God would protect the Anatolian believers and that they would have the freedom to share Jesus with others. Pray that Bibles and Christian literature would be distributed among the Anatolian Turk. Ask God for the Christian radio broadcasts which are available in the area to reach the Anatolian Turk.
