General Description: March 10, 2011

Many Turks hve there homeland in central Asia where the Turikic people settled from china.
Majority of the Turks liv in industrial regionslsuch as the states in NortRhine, West Phalia, Baden, Wurttemberg and like Berlin, Cologne,Duisburg, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Manneheim, Mainz, Munich, and Stuttgart.
The offical nubver of Turks with Turkish Citizenship in Germany is falling, mainly because many are taking in German citizenship, and since the year 2000 children born in Germany are enitled to adopt German citizenship. In 2005 there 840,000 German citizens of Turkish orgins.verall, the number of German resients with orgins in Turkey was approximately 2,812,000 or 3.4% of Germany's population. In 2010, the Embassy of Germany said that there are 3.5 million people of Turkish orgin living in Germany and that a further 3 million Turk have spent part of their lives in Germany. Now there are over 4 million Turkish descent living in Germany. In 2008 688,370 Turkish citizen(880,003 males and 799,367 females). Turks are 25.1% of Germany's foreign population. They are the largest ethnic minority.
When the Berlin wall was built after the war, Germany had more jobs then workers available. This caused major problems for the economy in Germany. Germany then decided to make a treaty with South Europe to recruit workers. When Germany recruited the Turks , Germans and Turk people thought they would only be there for maximum of two years..they were both wrong. What happened was that the Germans did not want to lose skilled workers and the Turks did not make enough to start there own business inTurkey or wherever they were from. Turks usually stayed in Germany because they had family there and they didnt want to leave them or they had already attended school and did not want to interrupt there education.
There were advantages for both the Turks and the Germans when they treaty was made. The advantages for the Germans economy to employ turish and other foreign workers, because it increases wealth, it keep wages and prices relatively stable and it helps to maintain full employment.
The advantages for the Turkish economy is that is allows workers to go abrad for emplyment because they get professional training, they earn foreign exchange, the domestic unemplyment rate is reduced, Turkey's wealth increases and it readuces social and economic conflicts.
The climate in Germany  is moderate and is generally without sustained periods of cold or heat.Northwestern and coastal Germany have a maritime climate caused by warm westerly winds from the North Sea: the climate is characterized by warm summers and mild cloudy winters. Farther inland, the climate is continental, marked by greater dicernal seasonal variations in temperature with warmer summers and colder winters.

The unreached people group of Germany-Turks

My name is Vanessa Randi Vance and I attend  IGO ministry classes every Thursday evening. When we started this class they asked  us to do a blog about an unreached people group. At first I was real gung-ho about researching people in Brazil but as I looked up unreached people group in Brazil is was way to overwhelming. I was three weeks behind on my research for a people group until one night the amazing and knowledgeable Glen Hatcher came and spoke to us. To be honest , while he was teaching I was trying to look up my people group and I was getting frustrated. I decided to pay attention and maybe God would show me something in this next week on which people I should do. After class I wanted to tell Glen what an awesome teacher he was and how he inspires and challenges me everyday to do the work that God has planned for me. I proceeded to tell him how I was having difficulties finding a unreached people group. I also proceeded to tell him how I lived in Germany for the first 7 years of my life. He reminded me about a group of Turkish people that have been invading Germany since I was living there. When he told me that I remembered how bad it was getting and how my family was telling me how aweful they were and how they were taking over Germany. There it was, God spoke to me then and told me that that was the group that I needed to research. I was relieved. Now once again, because I am the procrastinator that I am , I am almost 3 blogs behind. I pray and I hope others will help me pray for these Turks that they may find Christ in there lives.File:Turkisch-day-in-Berlin.jpg
