2011 is the centennial year for the Evangelical church. A number of celebrations are planned across the country, pending approval by the government. Church permits are hard to obtain, especially for mass assemblies. The church is experiencing steady growth in the midst of the persecution that persists, particularly in rural areas, where village chiefs and local authorities continue to harass believers. In November 210, two Christian evangelists were sentenced to six and four years in prison for 'undermining national unity'.
