Status of the Persecuted Church in Guinea
January 15, 2010
Muslim Population: 85% (Christian Population: 8%)
While there is much curiosity about Christianity in Guinea, Islam is both culturally strong and growing in militancy. One son of a revered imam in Guinea married a Christian girl under promise that she would convert to Islam. Instead, he came to Christianity. Now, his father has promised to kill him.
Several Christian tribes in Guinea have launched mission efforts targeting other Guinean tribes following the first Guinean missions training course in 1998. Islamic intolerance is increasing along with the evangelistic efforts of the church in Guinea.
