Protestants make up 0.05% of the population of Yemen in 2023,[1][2] while Christians as a group make up 0.08% of the country's population.
It is unknown when Protestants first arrived in Yemen, but records show that the British Bible Society opened a bookshop there in 1886. The following year the Church of Scotland Mission to South Arabia sent a missionary (Ion Keith Falconer) to Sheikh Othman in Adan.[3] A medical colleague later opened a hospital in his memory.[4] The Church of Scotland Mission worked with Danish missionary Oluf Høyer in Aden in 1904.[5]
In the early 21st century, peaceful relations between Christians and Muslims contribute to religious freedom.[6] However, it is reported that Christians and other religious minorities are often discriminated against when attempting to access humanitarian aid.[7]
An American Baptist congregation is affiliated with a hospital in Jibla.[6] Christ Church Aden, part of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East, runs the charitable Ras Morbat Clinic in Aden.[8][6]
