Global Prayer Team

Introduction to The Gambia:

The Gambia, a small West African country, is known for its beautiful beaches along the Atlantic Ocean and the Gambia River, which runs through its center. Despite being the smallest country on mainland Africa, it has a vibrant culture and a resilient people. With a population of about 2.5 million, The Gambia is predominantly Muslim, with a Christian minority making up a small percentage of the population. While the country is relatively stable, economic hardship, poverty, and limited access to healthcare and education are ongoing challenges. The Gambian church is small but active, seeking to share the love of Christ in a context where Christianity is a minority faith. Let’s lift up this nation in prayer, asking God to bless its people and strengthen the Christian community in their faith and witness.
