Turkey
Metin and Eda Mintaz
Metin Mintaz is a long-standing connection of TEN in Turkey who was formerly the pastor of the Great Commission Protestant Church in Istanbul, Turkey.
Metin’s desire is to see the Turkish people come to know our Heavenly Father, and to boldly live for Him so that others may see and believe.
Metin became a believer in 1990 as God revealed Himself while Metin read the New Testament. From that day on Metin’s life took a 180-degree turn as he felt God’s hand in every part of his life like the hand of a compassionate father. Whatever the situation he is in, these words from Hebrews give him confidence: “You are my son, and today I have become your Father.”
In 1991 Metin was baptised and his wife, Eda believed one year later. Now they have a daughter and a son who are also believers. Praise be to God! Metin is currently working in the Dalaman region planting a new church and discipling young believers.
