The Gospel Need in Turkey
Turkey, a nation with deep biblical heritage, remains largely unreached today. Despite its early significance in Christianity, the Christian community faces immense challenges, and local churches often lack the resources and training needed to flourish. There is an urgent need for a robust Christian presence that equips and supports local pastors. Miletus House aims to meet this need by establishing a permanent facility to nurture and develop pastors and church leaders throughout the region.
Currently, Christians make up less than 0.01% of Turkey’s population, with Islam being the dominant religion. There are approximately 1,000 mosques for every Christian church in the country, highlighting the vast disparity between the two communities.
The name “Miletus House” draws inspiration from the ancient city of Miletus, a place of significance in early Christianity where the Apostle Paul gathered with church elders to teach, encourage, and strengthen them (Acts 20:17-38). In this spirit, Miletus House will be a center dedicated to equipping, encouraging, and empowering pastors, leaders, and believers to carry the Gospel forward. By supporting the Miletus House project, you are investing in a transformative space that will extend the reach of the Gospel for generations, fostering growth, community, and spiritual renewal.
The Urgent Need
With the sale of our current building, we urgently need to secure a new, permanent facility. The new Miletus House will not only host the Pastors Academy but will also serve multiple purposes that support and strengthen the Christian community in Turkey. This building will house one of the largest Christian libraries in the country, providing valuable resources for pastors, theologians, and church leaders. It will also offer a place of rest and renewal for Christian leaders and their families, providing a sanctuary for them to recharge and connect with others.
On weekdays, the facility will serve as office space for various ministries, promoting collaboration and resource-sharing among Christian organizations. Additionally, the space will be used for local church events, including gatherings, conferences, and special occasions, creating a vibrant hub of activity. Our aim is to establish a versatile center that supports the continued growth of the church and the spread of the Gospel in Turkey for generations to come.
Join Us in the Mission
We are launching a fundraising campaign to raise $750,000 by February 2026 to acquire a facility for Miletus House. This strategic investment will not only provide a home for our ministry but also ensure the continued growth of the church in Turkey. Antalya, a vibrant hub connecting multiple nations and regions, is an ideal base for ministry and outreach. From here, we will equip and empower pastors and church leaders across Turkey and beyond, ensuring that the Gospel continues to flourish.
Having this facility in Antalya is crucial for maintaining and expanding our work without setbacks, offering a stable space for the Pastors Academy, seminars, events, and much-needed rest for church leaders. Your partnership will help us shape the future of the church in Turkey and impact the surrounding regions for generations to come.
