Challenges for Prayer

Most Caboverdians are Catholic in name, but in practice are more influenced by superstitions and African fetishism. Christian literature is lacking in Creole, and most people have only a rudimentary grasp of Portuguese.
     For an additional 2 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
