Lesotho: Unique ministry challenges in a nation reached with the Gospel
Lesotho (MNN) — At first glance, the small nation of Lesotho seems like a place already saturated with a Gospel witness. After all, around 92% of the population claims Christianity.
But Lesotho’s spiritual landscape is much more complicated than that.

Joe Adams, a pilot with MAF, says ministry in Lesotho has some unique challenges. “There’s a thin veneer of Christianity. There’s a cultural Christianity where people view themselves as born Christian. And that actually is really an obstacle to the Gospel. There are a lot of people who claim to be Christian – even use the words like ‘born again’ – but there’s not much change in their lifestyle.”
