Week of January 13th (Click Images for larger views)

This weeks missionaries are Eugene and Peggy Mumford serving in France (the largest country in Western Europe).
While "Christians" make up 67.72% of the population, in 2000 it was reported that 50% of these are "non-practicing" (up from 20% 30 years ago). Unfortunately they are scattered and spread out among more than 130 Protestant denominations and nearly 3,000 congregations. Also 20% of the population was reported to be non-religious altogether. When you consider the rich religious background that this country has it is saddening to find that nearly 50 million of the French people have no REAL link to the Christian church. Not to mention, that only 5% of the population owns a Bible and 80% of them have never even handled one (thats roughly 47,263,767 people). Remember to keep the Mumfords in your prayers this week. If you feel led to contact them, they can be reached at emumford@baptistworldmission.org or if you are more of a paper and ink person it's

Till next week,
"be a reacher"
