Sierra Leone

From 1991 to 2001, there was a civil war in Sierra Leone, in which 50,000 people were killed, 2 million displaced and the majority of the nation's infrastructure destroyed. It was followed by a military coup. The rebels were not fully put down until 2004, after UN peacekeeping forces were sent in. 2007 was the first presidential and parliamentary election following the war.

It's a nominally Muslim country (60%) with a significant Christian minority (13%) and only about 4% evangelical Christian, although it was the it is said to have been the first West African nation to be evangelized.

The Countess of Huntingdon, Lady Selina Shirley, was part of the 18th Century Evangelical Revival which gave birth to Methodism, and giving up her entire fortune she raised money to pay for ministers to preach the gospel, mainly in England and Wales. She also sent ministers to the United States where they came into contact with Negro slaves, who were converted to Christianity, and after helping the British fight in the American War of Independence, were promised their freedom. After an unsuccessful attempt at settling them in cold, inhospitable Nova Scotia, the British Government agreed to give them passage to West Africa, where some 1196 of them landed in what is now Freetown, on March 28th 1792. About half of them were 'Huntingdonians' and they kept the name of the church to which the ministers who had preached to them belonged. The English church was totally unaware of their existence for some years. Eventually a link was established, with the formation of the SierraLeone Mission, and has been maintained in various ways ever since. The Huntingdon Churches in Sierra Leone celebrated their bicentenary in 1992 with a procession through the streets of Freetown followed by a rally and many other celebrations. (Source)
