Kuwait, a small but wealthy Gulf nation in the Arabian Peninsula. Kuwait is known for its oil trade, and its pearls. After securing its independence from the British in 1961, it latched on to its Arab roots and Islamic faith.

Christianity came to Kuwait through early Catholic and Protestant missionaries in the 19th and 20th centuries. Expatriate communities and faithful Christian leaders planted churches in the country. They sought to serve migrant workers and quietly strengthen the body of Christ.

Despite this, Kuwait’s Christian Believers face struggles under heavy restrictions, such as book censorship, media clampdowns, restricted internet access, and increasing persecution for believers who express their faith openly. While many find encouragement through discreet resources like radio Bible programs, the Church in Kuwait remains under threat, weakened by fear, isolation, and the temptation to hide faith entirely.
