Demography is the statistical study of human populations: their size, composition, and how they change through the interplay of fertility, mortality, and migration. Demographic analysis examines and measures the dimensions and dynamics of populations; it can cover whole societies or groups defined by criteria such as education, nationality, religion, and ethnicity.
The demographic of "religion" that we care about shows since the 1st century AD, Christianity in Turkey has a long history. In 1914 the reported Christian population of 20 to 25% has decreased today to 0.2%. The decrease resulted from the Ottoman, Armenian, Greek and Assyrian genocide.
Needless to say we are very careful about how and what we report about our supporting amazing Christian ministry in Turkey. Brave and fearless partners are sharing Gods love in meaningful ways and lives are being added to the Kingdom of God daily. We ask you to pray for those we support. Today are difficult days for them.
This photograph is mounted in our home as a prayer reminder for the people in Turkey we encourage and support. It was taken in 1995 in Istanbul, Turkey's Kapalicarsi (The Covered Bazaar).
