Introduction

The Turkish Cypriot in the United Kingdom are modern-day Turkish immigrants from Cyprus or descendants of people originally from there. Turkish Cypriots began to relocate to the United Kingdom in the 1920s when residents of Cyprus became subjects of the British crown. Others immigrated during the 1950s and 1960s for economic advantages, for education and to escape the political problems of Cyprus. Cypriots in the United Kingdom continue to maintain their sense of community and hard work. They strive for involvement in British life while maintaining their Cypriot identity and culture.


Ministry Obstacles

Almost all Turkish Cypriots practice Muslim ceremonies and follow Islamic beliefs. Their identity is closely tied to the Islamic religion. This makes it difficult for them to consider the claims of Christ.


Prayer Focus

Pray for a spiritual hunger among Turks that will be satisfied by none other than the only Savior, Jesus Christ.
Pray for a movement to Christ among Turkish Cypriots to spread far and wide throughout Europe.
Pray for British believers to reach out in faith and love to these Muslims among them.
Ask God to open their spiritual eyes to teachings in the Bible, Christian radio broadcasts and the JESUS Film.
Pray for them to be drawn to the teachings of the Bible and the person, Jesus Christ.
