Trinidad y Tobago

The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is the southernmost island country in the Caribbean. Comprising two main islands, Trinidad and Tobago, along with several smaller islands, it is located 11 kilometres (6 miles) northeast off the coast of Venezuela. Its capital city is Port of Spain

Trinidad and Tobago has a population of approx. 1,509,000. It is well known for its African and Indian cultures. English is the official language, additional languages are Triniadian Creole English, Tobagonian Creole English, and Caribbean Hindustani (a dialect of Hindi). Unlike many Caribbean nations, which rely heavily on tourism, the economy is primarily industrial, based on large reserves of oil and gas.

According to a 2011 census the primary faith is Christianity. Protestant Christians: 32.1% and Roman Catholics: 21.6%. Hindus comprise 18.2% of the population. Muslims: 5%, Jehovah's Witness: 1.5%, and others: 8.4%. 2.2% of the population are non-believers and 11.1% did not specify affiliation with any religion. Many Hindus and some Muslims have turned to Christ. The evangelical presence has grown, there are many Pentecostal and charismatic congregations. Pray for unity in the body of Christ.

OM’s passion is to mobilise churches and believers to reach the nations for Jesus through partnering with local churches to inspire and equip people for mission work. We provide opportunities for believers to participate in both short and long-term mission outreaches, locally and internationally. We are grateful for the numerous Trinidadians and Tobagonians who are currently serving with OM in Eastern Europe and the many who serve on short-term missions.
