DESIGNATION:<\/strong> Hostile<\/p>\n

OVERVIEW:<\/strong> Many people in the CAR continue to practice animistic tribal beliefs and participate in unbiblical revenge killings against Muslims. These groups, who falsely identify as Christian, have banded together to form their own militia called the anti-Balaka. The anti-Balaka have committed atrocities just as the Muslim rebels have. Yet, a prevalent minority of biblical Christians (roughly 30 percent of the population) remains faithful and active. They are often the only entity caring for the hundreds of thousands who have been displaced in the country\u2019s conflict. While the CAR\u2019s civil war has presented opportunities for the church to display Christ\u2019s love to a ravaged nation, many churches feel ill-equipped to carry the burdens of their people.<\/p>\n

MAJOR RELIGIONS:<\/strong> Approximately three-quarters of the population identifies as Christian.<\/p>\n

PERSECUTOR:<\/strong> Christians who actively share their faith suffer intense violence at the hands of Muslim rebels.<\/p>\n

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN IN CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because of the civil war between rebel groups identified as \u201cMuslim\u201d and \u201cChristian,\u201d it is hard to separate religious persecution from political violence. There are, however, some clear cases in which believers have been specifically targeted for their Christian witness and other activities of biblical faith. In a four-week period in 2017, five pastors were murdered by S\u00e9l\u00e9ka rebels in targeted attacks designed to eliminate their witness for Christ. Reports of other churches and pastors being targeted have become common.<\/p>\n

ACCESS TO BIBLES:<\/strong> Bibles can be purchased in the capital city, but most people cannot afford them. They can be legally distributed.<\/p>\n

VOM WORK:<\/strong> VOM is serving more than 45,000 Christians who were driven out of their villages and displaced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
