Mogadishu

Somalia

Mogadishu, capital city and a major port of Somalia, is the largest metropolitan area in Somalia located just north of the Equator on the Indian Ocean. 40 years of civil war and clan skirmishes have wreaked havoc on the nation and further weakened tribal relationships, keeping the people of Somalia divided.

For decades, Mogadishu has been a refuge for Islamic militants who target Jesus followers in Somalia and surrounding nations.

Despite their claim to having a central government, most identify Somalia as a failed state. In the face of great challenges such as these, the Somali church is growing and sharing their faith with boldness to their fellow countrymen.
