As a result, […]

Less-reached peoples. Most peoples are still considered unreached – only a handful of smaller peoples have a Christian (Catholic) majority. Benin has Africa’s highest percentage of followers of traditional religions and is probably the least evangelized non-Muslim country in Africa. For specific prayer: The Fon are the most numerous people in Benin. It was from […]

Almost all church growth occurs within evangelical/charismatic churches. Pentecostal churches almost doubled from 2000 to 2010. Prayer movements grew among teenagers and led to an Austrian Prayer Congress of over 1,000, that now meets bi-annually! Even so, evangelicals are only 0.5% of the population.
