Tracing St. Paul’s Arc,
Advancing the Mission

Welcome

St. Paul Cultural Center Turkey Foundation runs church-hosting, community-transforming cultural centers in Türkiye and aims to expand its work in locales along the arc of St. Paul.

“From Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum (Western Balkans), I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ,” wrote the Apostle Paul. He then added, “I will go to Spain, and visit you (in Rome) on the way” (Romans 15:23-24, 28). While we know Paul made it to Rome – in chains, and was later released – we do not know for sure that he reached Spain. Good evidence, however, suggests that he did. If so, then we can say that the arc of St. Paul’s activity stretched from Jerusalem to all the way to Spain.

This Mediterranean arc marks the broadened scope of SPCCTF. As God enables and guides us, we aim to facilitate the fruitfulness of marginalized local churches in the arc of St. Paul and to foster transformative influence in their surrounding communities.
