Located in the north of France, near the Belgian border, the city of Lille (pronounced LEEL) has an amazing cuisine and culture. This area is known for its friendly people and rainy climate. The spiritual need in all of France is great, as only 1% of the population is evangelical Christian, and the need for the gospel in the North Department (similar to a province) is tremendous. There are 79 evangelical churches for the 2.6 million people who live in the North. That is roughly one church for every 33,000 people! And most churches are composed of 50 members or less. Even among such a great need, there are numerous churches shining the light of Christ as they live faithfully and seek to share the gospel with their friends, family, and coworkers. Please pray for the salvation of the people of northern France.
