Rwanda Leads World in Church Closures, New Report Finds

A recent study by Global Christian Relief has identified Rwanda as the world’s leading nation in terms of church closures, with approximately 7,700 religious facilities shut down within a two-year period. The report indicates that Rwanda’s government has implemented increasingly strict limitations on religious freedom practices.

Following Rwanda in the rankings is Mozambique, where the report documents that Islamic extremist groups are carrying out numerous attacks against Christian churches annually, numbering in the hundreds according to the Global Christian Relief findings.
