PASTOR RAMAZAN

Resim
Ramazan Arkan was born into a Muslim family and was a member of an Islamic group. After high school, he became disillusioned with Islam and turned to atheism. During that time, he became friends with the first Turkish Christian he had ever met. This man invited him to church and Ramazan attended for two and a half years as an unbeliever.

While fulfilling his compulsory military service, he gave his life to Jesus Christ. As Ramazan served in the church, he discovered that he had a strong desire to do full-time ministry for the Lord. ​For five years, he attended a Bible school in Turkey and since the end of 2000, he has been pastor of Antalya Evangelical Church.
Ramazan has also served as the general secretary of the Evangelical Alliance of Turkish Churches and in 2011, he earned a theology certificate from a branch of Glasgow Bible School in Turkey.

Ramazan met his wife Karen when she came to Turkey on a short term missions trip in 2001. They married in 2005, and have two beautiful sons. Joshua was born in 2010 and Levi in 2013.
