The Mission Field: Turkey
The land of Turkey once stood at the very center of early Christianity after the land of Israel.
This region was home to the Seven Churches of Revelation, the city of Antioch where believers were first called “Christians,” the missionary journeys of Paul the Apostle, the island of Patmos where John the Apostle was exiled, and the powerful revival that took place in Ephesus.
Yet after centuries of Islamic rule, the spiritual landscape of this region has changed dramatically.
Today Turkey stands as the largest unreached nation in the world. With a population of more than 85 million people, there are only an estimated 8,000–10,000 believers, representing less than 0.01% of the population.
This reality creates a tremendous need for faithful Gospel proclamation and discipleship.
Golden Altar Ministries Turkey exists to respond to this need by reaching the Turkish-speaking world with the message of Jesus Christ.
Through a variety of initiatives, the ministry seeks to proclaim the Gospel, teach the Scriptures, and strengthen believers.
Producing clear and accessible videos that communicate the message of the Gospel to people who may have never heard it before.
Publishing comprehensive educational content that explores books of the Bible and important theological topics, helping viewers develop a deeper understanding of Scripture.
Hosting interactive teaching sessions that examine biblical topics in greater depth while allowing viewers to ask questions and participate in discussion.
Engaging in public conversations, town halls, and debates with Muslim and atheist leaders in order to present the Gospel and discuss biblical truth openly.
Traveling to Turkey to share the Gospel in cities that remain largely unreached and participating in conferences with local churches.

Through these efforts that are offered entirely free of charge, Rabin’s ministry seeks to see the Great Commission advanced in Turkey and to make the truth of Scripture accessible to Turkish speakers around the world.
The mission of Golden Altar Ministries Turkey is to reach the Turkish-speaking Islamic world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to make disciples through biblical teaching, evangelism, and leadership training.
This ministry not only seeks to reach the unreached with the Gospel, but also to equip believers with the Scriptures so that they too may become disciple-makers.
