Introduction

Jews have been living in France for at least 2,000 years. Their ancestors arrived in the region during the Roman Empire. Since then, they have had a strong influence on the development of Europe, as well as on the traditions of Jews throughout the world. In France, as in other parts of Europe, they have faced waves of persecution.

Ministry Obstacles

Many Jews in the younger generation are disconnected from their Jewish identity. They don’t observe Jewish traditions and are swiftly being assimilated into French culture. Like most of France and Europe, they are increasingly secular and disinterested in spiritual matters.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray that the Holy Spirit would give mission organizations new ideas for discipling the Jews of France.
Pray for God to speak to the Jews in ways that cut through the distractions and noise of modern life.
Mission activity focused on students, sports and social networks could be effective in reaching the younger generation of Jews in France. Pray for God to raise up anointed workers to reach the youth.
