Every Christian is a missionary; every non-Christian is a mission field. - Winkie Pratney
THE NATION YEMEN.
Yemen was historically known as Arabia Felix, or the “Happy Land.” That’s because this small nation used to be one of the most fertile regions in the Arabian Peninsula. Yemen is sadly the poorest Arab nation and is currently facing the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Decades of war and unrest have torn this nation apart, leaving it crippled by long-standing social, political, and economic instability.
Yemen remains one of the least evangelized nations on earth. Only 0.2% of its population knows and follows Christ; 99.7% of the population are Muslims. Evangelism in Yemen is against the law and those who do so risk death. Still, despite these unrelenting restrictions, Christians have found ways to meet together. Through social media and secret gatherings, the Church in Yemen continues to grow, and more people are turning to Christ than ever before!
Population - approximately 35 million
Population in unreached people’s group - 99.7%
Capital city - Sanaa
