The Algerian church is one of the fastest growing in the Muslim world, it was reported in early February.
More than 100 testimonies have been broadcast through SAT-7 and church services are aired several times a week. The Algerian government gave an official licence to the church in 2011, so it can exist and worship freely.
Algeria: restrictive law
World Watch Monitor
A number of churches, as well as foreign NGOs, in Algeria called for the abolition of a law which came into effect in mid-January, and which they say will hamper their work.
Under the law, NGOs may be dissolved or suspended if their business is deemed to interfere with national affairs. Already facing restrictions due to the controversial 2006 law forcing churches to register with the state, the provisions of this new law will further limit the activities of churches in Algeria.
