France is one of the largest countries in Europe.  Once a strongly Roman Catholic country, today it is a needy mission field.  Of the 59.8 million population, 74% claim to be Catholics, but only about 6% go to church regularly.  More than 16% of the people have no religious affiliation, or claim to be atheists.  There are over 500 sects working in France.  Evangelicals form only 0.63% of the population.  Many immigrants from North Africa live in the country, affording some missionaries the opportunity to witness to an otherwise unreachable population of over four million Muslims.
