Turkey: MDT Caravan

The MDT Caravan is a 5 month discipleship programme.  It is an awesome opportunity for participants to connect with the least reached, at the same time as growing in their relationship with God and others.

We aim to give participants:

  • Knowledge and experiences to help them grow, and continue growing, in their knowledge of God and themselves.
  • An understanding of God's heart for the nations. We particularly focus on what God is doing amongst Muslim people in the world and within our movement, while exposing participants to various opportunities. 

Participants will learn tried and tested skills and biblical tools to engage Muslim peoples. Participants will be provided opportunities to apply what they have learned within Turkey and another Muslim country.
