Bible surplus earmarked for Europe's missionaries

Europe-Europe has followed a secular path and, in some places, apathy is slowly strangling the church to death. Recent statistics show that roughly 21% of Europeans feel that religion is "very important."The conflict between the continent's faith roots and it's current pull toward humanism and atheism has broadened to a rift. As people respond to the rift by seeking distraction, it has grown into a void that's left the door wide open for Islam.
The challenge of the field has many believers responding to the call. But once they get to Europe, they are faced with isolation, discouragement and social discrimination. Sometimes that's compounded by lack of resources.Christian Resources International's Fred Palmerton says that's why they're looking at a fall campaign for 'Operation: Bare Your Bookshelf' to help."Islam is really taking Europe by storm and we want to combat that.What we're going to be seeking are the names and addresses of missionaries who are currently serving in Europe who are in need of receiving free Bibles and Christian books in English."Participants send their excess Bibles,commentaries and other help books to CRI,who will then distribute them.Palmerton says this is a clarion call."Islam is just the rage in Europe.We have to do something in Europe.Christianity is disappearing rapidly there, and I think 'Bare Your Bookshelf' is going to lend itself nicely to that."
