Thyatira: Next Location of the Seven Churches Plant
SPIRITUAL SITUATION
As far as known, unfortunately there is no Christian and no church in this ancient Christian city. There are
107,000 people that live in Thyatira/Akhisar. Our church planting vision for Thyatira is first to buy a place
for a church building which will be heard by everyone as it is a small city and we already know that there
are many people whose hearts has been prepared by the Holy Spirit. The building will be a tool to draw
people just like in Laodicea.This is opposite our thinking in other countries, where we find the people
first then the building. Here in a 99.8% Muslim population there are no rentals available when it is
discovered to be Christian that wants the facility.
