Congo

Unreached people groups

An overview of the country's people groups, focusing on those who still have little or no access to the gospel in their own language and culture.

Overview

The Republic of the Congo is majority Christian and has few people groups still without access to the gospel. The greatest challenge is not the lack of Christian presence, but the depth of faith: many live out a Christianity mixed with traditional beliefs. There are also pygmy communities in the forests of the north who remain marginalized and with little outreach.
