One of our main focuses in recent years has been helping people in the earthquake-affected region of southeastern Türkiye. Thanks to your support, we were able to stand alongside thousands of people and bring hope in the midst of chaos. Thank you!

Our team was on the ground every day for three years, providing emergency relief, pastoral care, trauma counseling and training, and supporting women and children. Many visitors to our earthquake relief center also came to know Jesus.

The site that the Turkish government had made available to us temporarily is now needed for other purposes, and we have had to close the center.

Three years after the 2023 earthquake, life in Antakya is still difficult. While many new homes have been built, reconstruction is far from complete.

Baran*, our regional leader, shares:

"Three years after the earthquake, many people are still waiting for the government assistance they were promised. Antakya remains a massive construction site. Many families are still living in container settlements under difficult conditions, while others have been relocated. Please continue to pray for these people."

Although the earthquake relief center has closed, we remain in close contact with our local partners.

If you would like to continue supporting people in the earthquake region, you can still do so through us. Thank you for standing with them!
