Country Sleuth Challenge

March 26, 2010

How well do you know the countries where your brothers and sisters in Christ are being persecuted for their faith?

For the next ten days, there will be a country sleuth challenge. One country with persecuted Christians has been chosen, and each day a new clue will be published on twitter (www.twitter.com/CompassAtSmyrna). See if you can identify the country before the 10 days are up. Guesses are welcome! Here are the first four clues:

Clue 1: In 2001, the president of this country banned evangelical churches.

Clue 2: Only 20% of the people in this country can read, and only 5 of its 11 languages have a full Bible translation.

Clue 3: This country has a social coffee drinking ritual. Brewing and drinking the coffee can last for several hours.

Clue 4: Thousands of Christians are in prison, but none of them have been charged with a crime or have faced trial.
