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.
The archipelago has only two recorded people groups: the French people, the majority, with Basque, Breton, and Norman roots, and a small Anglo-Canadian minority linked to neighboring Newfoundland. No people here is considered unreached: the Christian faith, mostly Catholic, is historic and present throughout the population. Among the French, faith is mostly cultural, with a very low percentage of evangelicals; the small Anglo-Canadian community, on the other hand, has a proportionally much larger evangelical share, a faithful minority already living out a personal, active faith. The greatest challenge is not access to the gospel, but discipleship and the renewal of a faith often reduced to tradition among the French majority.
