Country of the Week: Andorra

Posted on September 22, 2015 Written by Patrick 1 Comment

Andorra on the GlobeGeneral: Andorra is a landlocked Principality and is the sixth smallest country in Europe, nestled high in the Pyrenees Mountains between the French and Spanish borders. The people of Andorra have one of the highest life expectancies in the world (as high as 81 years old).

Population: 86,600

Gospel Need: Largest religion is Catholicism

  • Catholic – 86.6%
  • Evangelical (those who believe in salvation by faith in Jesus) – 0.4%
  • Other – 13%

Andorra’s tourism services an estimated 10.2 million visitors annually. Materialism holds a tight grip on the people of Andorra. Though it is not an official state religion, the constitution acknowledges a special relationship with the Catholic Church, offering some special privileges to that group. Other Christian denominations include the Anglican Church, the Unification Church, the New Apostolic Church. The Jehovah’s Witnesses also have a presence in Andorra as well.

Country of the Week: Algeria

Algeria on the Globe.

General: Algeria is bordered on the west by Morocco and Western Sahara and on the east by Tunisia and Libya. The Mediterranean Sea is to the north, and to the south are Mauritania, Mali, and Niger. It is nearly four times the size of Texas and the largest country on the continent of Africa. The Saharan region, which is 85% of the country, is almost completely uninhabited. Algiers is the capital and largest city with 2,916,000 (est. in 2011).

Population: 40,633,000

Gospel Need: Largest religion is Islam

  • Islam – 97.2%
  • Evangelical (those who believe in salvation by faith in Jesus) – 0.2%
  • Other – 2.5%

The Algerians in Algeria are less accessible to reach with the Gospel than the 4 million Algerians who reside in Europe. The need is Gospel preaching churches to be planted in the capital and around the country!
