Turk in Russia

Like many young in today's world, the new generation of Turks living in Moscow is consumed by the pursuit of pleasure. Food, drink and dating are among their top priorities. Though they are officially Muslim, their worldview is secular. Many do not practice Islam, seeing it as their heritage and culture, but not as something that affects their daily lives. Many Turkish have immigrated to Russia since 2000, mostly through marriage to Russian citizens. Many have been deprived of political and social privileges and have been prohibited from owning property and employment. Turks will need to hear of the glory and goodness of the Lord through the JESUS Film and other audio and visual materials. These can be distributed to them or downloaded.
