The Good Soil of Europe is Ripe for Sowing

Despite its popular title, Jesus' parable of "The Sower" implies that fruitful evangelism depends not so much on the one who sows the seed but on the soil it lands on. My experience as an evangelist confirms this: the fruits of preaching seem to depend on place as much as proclamation. And in terms of hard soil for the gospel, many have long seen Western Europe as a region where sown seeds of faith fail to take root.
