With the earthquakes that killed over 45,000 people, thousands of buildings destroyed, and countless people injured, it is time for the Church to rise in the "unreached" country of Turkey.
We believe that the best strategy for helping Turkey during this time of tragic loss is to build up, encourage and assist the local Church. The local Church is the hope of the world because of what Jesus Christ has done for us! With only 0.2% of the population claiming Christianity, the task is large.
Our desire as PPM is to help the local Church shine like never before. We are praying that this season of trauma and loss turns to a season of hope and revival among this primarily Muslim nation.
Join us as we launch PPM365 in Turkey by cheering on the local Church as they bring hope to the hopeless. We are working hard to identify people of peace to help us launch this ministry, pioneered by our very own PPM staff member who is from Turkey.
Love always wins and hope does not disappoint. Would you consider partnering with us to become the first sponsors for PPM365 in Turkey so that we can help strengthen the local Church?
PPM365 is a continuous effort to build up, encourage, and assist the local Church 365 days a year. By sponsoring a church's involvement in this program, pastors and ministry leaders will receive local support, training, and encouragement, leading to transformed communities in the name of Christ. Three areas of focus work in unison to accomplish this intentional effort.
Church
The Local Church is the catalyst for reaching our world for Christ. It is God's master plan - to use His people to love and serve our world, sharing the Good News of grace by faith to all people.
Pastor
An investment in a pastor is an investment in the Church. When pastors are healthy, both spiritually and physically, they are most able to lead a healthy, vibrant congregation
Community
Communities benefit when the local church is thriving. From support and care to meeting physical needs; a healthy Church is vital to a community.
We estimate it will cost PPM $2400 per year ($200/month) to fund one partner in this program. A sponsorship allows for donors to personally support the care and ongoing ministry in a location.
