Prayer Bulletin — 03 June 2012

David Broussard, president of Impact France, writes in a recent Crosswalk report that despite dire predictions of the death of the evangelical Church in France several years ago, today Protestants account for around 3 percent of the population. The National Council of Evangelicals in France was officially incorporated in 2011 and has united hundreds of thousands of Believers in the vision to have one church for every 10,000 inhabitants.

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has even based its entire internet evangelism strategy on the pioneering work of the French website ConnaitreDieu.com and is using their tools to get the job done. Luis Palau held a wildly successful series of evangelistic meetings on a beach in Marseille last year and youth ministries such as Jeunesse Pour Christ (Youth for Christ) are experiencing enthusiasm, growth, and are seeing a real harvest.”

The French are re-thinking how they view Christianity – especially the younger generations. And, for Christians, this new openness is nothing short of a solid and welcome answer to prayer. One roadblock after another is being removed and there are more open doors to have conversations about God, faith, and Jesus than has been seen in a long time. Broussard says that “while this ‘reformation’ of public perception is in no way persuading millions of French people to accept Christ, we see in France today a real shift in the spiritual ‘tectonic plates’… Something has changed. As a French pastor returning from Jordan told me in an interview last year, ‘This is not the France that I left five years ago.’”

  1. Praise the Lord! Have been praying for France for many years. Asking and believing HIM to move there and it’s happening. I was born in France and came to the US when I was 7. I was saved at 22 and have now been in the States for 55 years. My family (father, brother, nieces, aunts and cousins) are still living there. Many in my family are agnostics because “religion” is all they have know. Praying the love of Christ will be spread throughout France and Europe.
    Love and appreciate you and all you are doing in Jesus name!
    Will be sending support.

    • Thanks Annie! God Bless you!
