One Orthodox Church for Every Country- Republic of the Congo to Rwanda


These are all churches that currently hold Orthodox services. If I can't find evidence of a church that holds regular services (house churches count), then the country does not have an Orthodox Church listed. I have included Oriental Orthodox Churches. If you know of a country with an Orthodox Church that I have missed or overlooked, please let me know. 



Republic of the Congo




Romania
Curtea de Arges Cathedral of St Nicholas, Curtea de Arges



Russia
Fyodorovskaya Church, Yaroslav 
First church returned by the Soviets to the Russian Orthodox Church.




Rwanda
I can't find the name of a church in Rwanda, but here is the bishop holding a child.

Update: FIRST ORTHODOX CHURCH BEING BUILT!



It is named after the Holy Trinity and is being built in Nyamata with the support of the "Brotherhood of Orthodox External Missions of Thessaloniki".

Rwandan people have shown great interest in Orthodoxy, but financial difficulties in purchasing land and the settlement of relevant documents delayed the construction work. 

Please pray for the Orthodox Church in Rwanda!
