Firm Foundation Trust

The vision of Firm Foundation Trust is to develop vital Biblical resources for the Turkish speaking church. This will help Bible teachers, church leaders and other believers to study the Bible more deeply. These resources should assist the teaching of the Christian faith more effectively and establish the church on a firm foundation for the next generation.

The writings of the New Testament and the history of the early church are full of place names whose locations can be found in Turkey today. The land in which the New Testament churches of Ephesus, Pergamum and Laodicea, to name but a few, and the churches in the Roman provinces of Galatia, Cappadocia and others, were all situated in what today is Turkey. For many centuries the church grew and expanded throughout this part of the world and spread from there into Europe, Asia and Africa.

However, due to many diverse factors over the years the number of Christians in Turkey today is very small. Ancient orthodox denominations have been present in Turkey for centuries but have declined dramatically. The Protestant evangelical church had virtually disappeared. However, since the 1960s it has begun to slowly grow again, though it is still in its first generation. Consequently the Turkish church today has few Biblical resources in the Turkish language.
