How the Gospel is Spread in France: 

France, a modern and progressive country, has a significant need for Gospel resources and exposure. Less than 2% of the French population, around 1 million people, identify as Evangelical Christians. According to the Jeremiah Project, France is home to 114 distinct people groups, 53 (46% of the total population) of which are classified as “unreached.” While churches are being planted at an increasing rate, there is still an average of just one Evangelical church for every 25,000 inhabitants in France. Organizations like Impact France are actively working to spread the Gospel throughout France. They focus on supporting local ministries and providing essential resources to help spread the message of Christianity across France. 

Hint to Next Week’s Location: 

Where the sun shines bright and the sea’s a dream,
White sands stretch as far as they seem.
The breeze is warm, the palms sway free,
This paradise calls with a melody. 

A city rich in colonial past,
Where history lingers, steadfast.
But the real magic’s by the shore—
A land of warmth, adventure, and more.
