FROM PERSECUTION TO MINISTRY
From persecution in Iran and refugee life in Türkiye to theological education, a life-saving transplant, and pastoral ministry, Harpak and Ghazal’s journey is a testimony of God’s grace—and of a small Home Church that grew into Grace Church Kirikkale.
FROM REFUGE TO SHEPHERDING
Forced to leave Iran because of her Christian faith, Ghazal entered Türkiye as a refugee carrying loss, uncertainty, and many unanswered questions. Through serving refugee children, theological education, her husband’s life-threatening illness, and the birth of Grace Church Kirikkale, God transformed a wilderness into a calling to shepherd His people.
The First Christmas of Two Growing Faith Communities
On Christmas Eve 2023, Athens Grace Church gathered for worship, fellowship, and celebration. A special video greeting from Pastor Harpak in Ankara connected the church with Grace Church Kırıkkale, making it a memorable first Christmas for two growing faith communities.
