Sierra Leone

Status of the Persecuted Church in Sierra Leone
May 1, 2010
Muslim Population: 60% (Christian Population: 10%)

Civil war in neighboring Liberia left Sierra Leone gutted and without effective government. Many children were forced to be soldiers, first by political leaders, and now by Muslim recruiters. During the 20th century the Muslim population of Sierra Leone increased from 10% to 60%. The evangelical church is small but growing and has a desperate need for biblically trained leadership.
