France

Unreached people groups

An overview of the country's people groups, focusing on those who still have little or no access to the gospel in their own language and culture.

Overview

France brings together dozens of people groups, from the majority French to many immigrant communities from North Africa, the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia. Several of these groups have very little access to the gospel, and the secularization of the French majority makes the field even more challenging. The country is, at the same time, a historic center of Christianity and one of the greatest mission challenges in Europe.
