"Following Jesus in Yemen continues to be extremely dangerous. Yemeni society is strongly Islamic, conservative and tribal, and the tribal punishment for denouncing Islam can be death or banishment. Most believers are Yemeni and come from Muslim backgrounds. As conversion from Islam is forbidden by Islamic and state law, Christians must keep their faith secret, or risk severe repercussions from their families, the authorities or radical Islamic groups. This can include divorce, loss of custody of children, arrest, interrogation and even death."<ref>https://www.opendoors.org/en-US/persecution/countries/yemen/</ref>

== Population of Christians ==
The Population of Christians is a small fraction of Yemen's 33 MN, probably around 300,000. May prayers and missionary efforts from the Universal Church arise for Yemen, for it remains one of the least Evangelized and most Islamized regions on the entire Earth.
