Niger
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) began its relationships in Niger more recently than in some other African countries. Our engagement in Niger involves ministry through mission personnel and through our partner church relationship. The PC(USA) joins its partner in Niger in a holistic approach to ministry that includes education and leadership development, health ministries, community development, evangelism and new church development.
Although 98 percent of the population is Muslim, Niger has remained a secular state and has rejected outside pressure to become a Muslim state. The Christians in Niger have a vibrant faith and ministry to their country as they strive to build the church and the country of Niger.
Niger Partner Churches and Organizations
The PC(USA)’s partner church in Niger is the Eglise Evangelique au Republique du Niger (EERN).
