These Bible study materials will be designed for evangelism and discipleship among those who do not have a religious background, which includes the majority of French people. Believers across France and French-speaking Belgium will share the videos, which enable individual seekers to dive into discovering Jesus through the website and Bible reading plan. In addition, church planters and youth/university/small group ministry leaders will benefit from the group discussion guide. This project will impact the entire French-speaking world. Join what God is doing through this exciting new look at the life of Jesus!
With 810 million people, 51 sovereign states and 200 spoken languages, Europe is rich in diversity and character. These distinct cultures create a continent of global influence through language, politics, finance, fashion, and food. Though diverse, the peoples of Europe do have one thing in common—more than 98% do not follow Jesus.
Instead of seeing Europe’s decidedly post-Christian culture as a hindrance, IMB teams see the potential of what God wants to do on and through this influential continent. Not only do Europeans need the hope of the gospel, making it a primary place for ministry, but the global reach of its cities also makes it a strategic place as well. Immigrants comprise more than 15% of the population of gateway cities such as London, Paris, Madrid and Vienna.
Through dreaming big and taking faith-filled risks, IMB teams are connecting with European nationals, sharing the gospel and training local leaders. Their aim is to develop strong local leadership in every city and province who will lead biblically faithful and reproducing churches. Churches that plant new healthy churches will send the gospel to the nations of the world from every borough, town and village of the beautifully diverse continent of Europe.
