One church ... just one.

There is only one evangelical church left in the North African nation of Algeria, according to a recent report released by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, Mission Network News says.

While the Algerian government claims laws give freedom to citizens, the opposite is true. Pastors and leaders have been hauled into court time and again “facing charges for faith-based activities,” reports MNN.

One representative of a ministry working in this mostly Muslim country says: “There are probably 15 to 20 pastors now that have been tried, and all of them have appealed. They are expecting their case to be handled by the Supreme Court. Sometimes they have to wait for 10 years. It’s a vicious cycle because they [the Algerian government] would say that we allow the people to make the appeal or to make requests for having authorization to have a building or to have an organization. But actually, most of the governments in Muslim nations don’t really grant anything.”
