No reports on the Spiritual Warfare ministry and on the treatment of those affiliated with it could be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate.

However, the following information may be of interest. According to International Religious Freedom Report for 2002 (7 Oct. 2002) and Country Reports (2002, 490), "some foreign missionaries complained about the difficulty of obtaining work and residency permits; however, religious workers are subject to the same bureaucratic impediments in obtaining work and residency permits that face all foreign citizens."

This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Please find below the list of additional sources consulted in researching this Information Request.
