Annual Growth: 2.71%
Capital: Luanda         
Urbanites: 58.5%

Unreached Peoples Prayer Card
Official language: Portuguese

Largest Religion: Christian (94.1%) This number includes Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, etc. Only 22.5% are Evangelical Christian.


Answer to Prayer: The remarkable growth of biblical Christianity amid war and poverty. Evangelicals quadrupled from 1990 to 2010, despite the extremely difficult conditions.

Challenge for Prayer: Luanda and other major cities attracted the displaced but had no capacity to shelter them properly, so squalid squatter camps rapidly sprung up. A large proportion of the rural population fled to urban areas due to food shortages and lack of security. The government is accused of failing to care for these unwilling refugees. There are large numbers of orphaned and abandoned children; many are falsely accused of witchcraft by relatives as a pretext for getting rid of them. Others are forced or sold into prostitution to feed themselves. Pray for those working with the urban poor and the children at risk.
