THE FIELDS OF FRANCE
(Adapted
from Operation World, Patrick Johnstone and Jason Mandryk,
2001)
For the past seven years, BMW missionaries have been on the fields of France, with the goal of starting churches among these minority segments of the population in the cities of Metz and Toulouse. Working with people from different religious, linguistic and cultural backgrounds requires sensitivity to a diverse set of ethnic, educational and philosophical mindsets as they share the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you would like more information on how you can be involved, please contact Paul Seger, BMW's Area Director of Europe. RESOURCES

Riots,
burning cars, and striking students have gained much of the media
attention that France has received over the past year. However,
these headlines certainly do not do justice to the complexity of
the situation. The country of France and those living within her
borders are experiencing some drastic changes due to an aging population,
massive immigration and globalization.
A
small minority still attend Catholic Mass on Sunday while there
is a growing presence of Islam through immigration and conversion.
The school system and society in general have rejected God and would
consider a believer of the Bible to be "anti-intellectual"
and "child-like." In some cases the national Evangelical
church is trying to do their part in making a difference, but readily
admit their need for help, particularly when it comes to reaching
the minority segments of the population.
