Norway

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

Norway has 53 people groups, most made up of immigrant and refugee communities from the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa, many of them majority Muslim. About a third of these peoples are still considered unreached, among them Afghans, Moroccans and Bosnians who live in neighborhoods of Norway's major cities, almost always without a single church or Christian community in their own language and culture. At the same time, the native Norwegian population, mostly Christian in name, is considered only partially reached, with a great need for a revival that renews a faith that today is more cultural than lived.
