Introduction / History
The Limousin people speak Occitan and live in their own region of south-central France. They also speak standard French.
What Are Their Lives Like?
The Limousin is famous for their beef industry. It has the lowest population density of any region of France, largely because it is mainly rural. They also have a museum for small armaments developed in France. There is a tourist industry in the Limousin homeland.
What Are Their Beliefs?
They are mostly Roman Catholic, but like more people in France, many Limousin people are secular in their worldview. Still, they will be married and buried by the Catholic Church. Only a small number are evangelical.
What Are Their Needs?
The Limousin people need a Christ-centered theology. As it stands, they are either secular or their theology is focuses on the Catholic institution rather than the only savior, Jesus Christ.
Prayer Points
Pray for Christ followers among the Limousin to disciple others in the ways of the only savior.
Pray for a Holy Spirit directed revival in France’s Roman Catholic Church.
Pray for the Lord to show himself strong by making this a banner year for the people of Limousin. May they give God praise!
