Even though Turkey's Christian population is very small, there are signs of hope and slow growth. Some Orthodox communities—Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek—have remained resilient despite pressure, land theft, and occasional attacks.
There's also a growing number of young Turkish converts, like Yusuf and Mustafa, who are turning to Christianity after periods of secularism or atheism. Most of these converts are young people, indicating a potential generational shift.
Many are curious about the church, and some Turks are embracing Christianity quietly for safety, showing that faith can still take root even in a largely Muslim society.
Additionally, Turkey hosts Christian refugees from Afghanistan, Iran, and Syria, providing a space where these believers can live more safely than in their home countries.
Despite societal and online harassment, these converts are actively practicing and sharing their faith, showing a slow but steady growth of Christianity in the country.
