The State of Missions in Tunisia
Tunisia presents a distinctive missions landscape shaped by a North African Muslim-majority nation with a tiny indigenous evangelical community and strong social pressure around conversion. 12 unreached people groups remain, representing about 12,437,300 people; Arab, Tunisian is the largest listed community. Practical service often intersects with unemployed youth, migrants, and poorer interior regions.

A History of God's Faithfulness in Tunisia
Nineteenth- and 20th-century Protestant mission efforts remained small in Tunisia; modern evangelical witness grew largely through local believers, media, diaspora relationships, and discreet house fellowships. The movement’s lasting strength has come as national pastors and believers assumed greater responsibility for ministry. That history matters because today’s churches must serve Tunisian Arabs through discreet friendship, media, and diaspora relationships with greater local ownership.

Modern Movement
Contemporary ministry in Tunisia now intersects with unemployed youth, migrants, and poorer interior regions and interior communities with fewer services. Churches also need practical readiness for drought, heat, flash floods, and water scarcity.
