Teach in Turkey
With breath-taking ocean views and mountain ranges, Turkey is a spectacular gateway between Europe and the Middle East. Turkish history brims with fascinating people: from the patriarch Abraham, to the apostle Paul, to Alexander the Great.
Once the center of early Christianity, Turkey is now 99% Muslim. Like a beautifully woven carpet, Turkish cities blend the textures of traditional Islamic life with the vibrant colors of modern culture.
With TeachOverseas, you can follow the apostle Paul's life-giving journey of faith and service in Turkey, a sacred land.
