Aybars Uckun

We have the tremendous privilege of hosting my/our friend Aybars Uckun this Sunday. His story is utterly fascinating. Every time I hear it, I think…how did this happen?! And…how good is the kindness, pursuit and grace of God?! Aybars was born in Turkey, to an Afghan father and Turkish mother. After leaving Turkey, he grew up in New Jersey. His testimony of meeting Jesus leaves me in awe. Aybars served as a Messianic Rabbi for 15 years, but felt compelled to serve his own people after watching the fall of Kabul in 2021. He currently serves as the local and global Development Director of the Al-Ma’idah Initiative.
