Spiritual Landscape in Madagascar

Around half the population would say they were Christian but Islam is making a big effort to draw people and mosques are being built in all the major population centres. There is still significant animism in rural areas.

Communities Where Christ is Least Known

Islamic people

There are many churches in Madagascar but there are areas where Islam is dominant and other places where Christianity is nominal and without power. Villages are small, scattered and relatively isolated from each other in the rural areas. Many are without Christian witness.
