Why does an area such as Rome need missionaries?

Actually the need for missionaries in Rome has nothing to do with the church of Rome, which sadly less than 2% even attend, they are considered an unchurched, no faith, post Christian area, where Pagan Priest outnumber Roman Catholic Priest by a margin of 3 to1.. they are in need of missionaries to reach the lost with the Gospel of Christ... that has nothing to do with what religion you ascribe to, because sadly this part of the world doesn't profess to have any faith in God...
