France: Church is Growing Steadily

Although France’s population is over 66 million (2013), as of 2015, there were only 2,440 Evangelical churches in the entire country. However, the number of Evangelical Protestants has increased 10 times in the past 60 years. French Protestants now make up close to 3% of the population and churches are being planted at an increasing rate (a 15.5% increase in the number of churches from 2012-2015)! A new local church is born every 10 days – about 35 new churches per year.

PRAISE God for this steady growth. Pray that France may see a powerful move of God.

Life for Egypt’s Christians Improving | Report 28

2013 was a dark year for Egypt’s Christians with multiple attacks on churches, and the months following the ousting of Mohamed Morsi only escalated the persecution against them. Some of the attacks on Christians were fatal and at one point, churches started cancelling services. But fast forward a year and the arrival of president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and things are looking much better for Christians in Egypt, says Greek-Catholic priest Rafik Greiche. Meetings have been held between the president and bishops from the Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant Churches, and the government is working with them to prepare a new law on the construction of churches.
