80% Islam. The ethnic groups with the most population, are mainly Muslims.
There are some other ethnic groups, although smaller, that are mainly Christian.
Most of the citizens of the country, Muslims or Christians, are involved in paganism

The people of the Gambia are reputed to be very hospitable.
This hospitality is one of their most priced possessions.
Gambians are mostly tolerant.
The country is lined with very beautiful beaches.
The beautiful beaches and sunshine are the two the main tourist attractions The Gambia
posseses.
Other tourist attractions in the Gambia include the famous James Island, that served as a slave
port, for slaves waiting to be transported to Europe and the Americas.
The Gambia attracts tourist from the UK, Europe, Scandinavia and North America.
Evangelical Christianity started in the Gambia about 20 years ago.
Today, Gambia has a handful of Evangelical Churches that are striving to make an impact in
the land.
The process before a Gambian is converted to Christ can be slow but many are seeing the light.
There is a lot of work to be done here. The labourers indeed, are few.
The Church of God in the Gambia welcomes long-term and short-term missionaries.
