It is not easy to be a Christian in Brunei. The Muslim Sultan and Prime Minister have stated their vision is that Brunei will be 100% Muslim by 2035. Despite this, the church has continued to grow. In 2014, 9% of the population were Christians, but in 2018 it had risen to 12%. Though no bookshops inside Brunei sell Bibles, Christian ministries have continued to bring Bibles into the country for distribution.
Pray that the Word of God will be widely read, bringing people the Good New of salvation available through Jesus Christ (The Bible, Isaiah 55:11).
