La Voix de l’Évangile, Québec is a vital part of the extensive radio work of MissionGO
which reaches into many French-speaking countries of the world. The broadcasts are recorded in the studio of the radio follow-up office in Châteauguay.
The ministry began in 1955 in the Back to the Bible Broadcast studios in Lincoln, Nebraska through a staff member who spoke French fluently and had a burden for the French-speaking people of the world. An office was soon established in Aix-en-Provence in France.
In 1974, an office was opened in Châteauguay, Québec, under the direction of MissionGO representatives, Clarence and Pearl Shelly. At the present time, the broadcasts are aired on one station in Montreal and one in Champlain, NY. Stephen Frank became the director of La Voix de l’Évangile, Québec in 2006. His wife, Karen, is also a representative of MissionGO.
The weekly French-language 15-minute broadcast features Pastor Michel Martel, a Québec evangelist who faithfully teaches the Word of God. Audio messages (in French only) are available on CDs at a reasonable cost as well as approximately 40 books in French on the Christian life.

Aches and Praise Six Hundred & Nineteen
July 21, 2023You may remember that three weeks ago, I wrote that Dr. David Jeremiah’s book entitled “Slaying the Giants in Your Life” was such a blessing to me that when I was halfway through the book, I exclaimed “This is the best book I have ever read!” (besides the Bible). This week, I began reading “Clinging to Hope” by Charles R. Swindoll. After reading the first couple of chapters, I told my wife, Karen, that I think this book is tied with “Slaying the Giants in Your Life” as the best book I have read.
On the back cover, the following overview is given: “All of us are in desperate need of strength to endure and hope to carry on. Life is difficult and demanding. It’s often filled with pain, heartache, setbacks, and detours. Disappointment in others saddens us; scandals among those we respect shock us; and disputes in our families, churches, or workplaces demoralize us. When such troubles strike, they can be downright devastating. But they don’t have to be!
In Clinging to Hope, Chuck Swindoll reassures us that we can endure unexpected calamities. How? By taking our stand on the strong foundation of God’s Word. When trials and tribulations rumble in like a fleet of bulldozers to demolish our lives, we can emerge from the rubble with a strong resolve to recover and rebuild. Not just to survive, but to thrive.”
Yesterday, as I was driving home, I had to take a detour as a street was closed for repairs. Taking a different route than usual, I noticed contrasting things: a house that was very old and a house being built. In our daily routines, we can get accustomed to doing things a certain way and often that is good. However, we can benefit from trying new ways of dealing with our obligations and opportunities.
In “Clinging to Hope,” Chuck Swindoll writes: “Rather than grousing and complaining about our troubles and making other people miserable in our pursuit of pity, we persevere because we find contentment in the fact that a good Father is at work. He’s on our side. And when we endure those trials that come and stay, we learn significant lessons we could never have learned any other way.
Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Charles Krauthammer’s last book, released after his death in 2018, is titled The Point of It All. While he was attending Harvard Medical School, a diving accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. Despite the challenges of his condition, Krauthammer finished his degree in psychiatry and lived a long, fruitful life of public service – as a psychiatrist, speech writer, journalist, author, and nightly news commentator. He was also a husband and father.
At the end of the book, his son, Daniel, wrote a touching eulogy – lessons learned from his father that illustrate the truths of James well: ‘Don’t be defined by what life throws at you and you cannot control. Accept the hand you are dealt with grace, and then go on to play that hand as joyously and industriously and vigorously as you can.’ That’s how we handle troubles.”
May we trust the Lord to guide us in all that we say and do, declaring His glory to our family, our friends, and others. One final note: Karen and I thank the Lord that He gave us a precious daughter – Bethany Grace – on this day. Happy birthday, Bethany!
Scripture for the weekend: “Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He will do it.” Psalm 37:4-5 (NASB)
Thought for the weekend: “The tests that come like a flash and last no longer than a dash seldom do more than bring a brief crash. On the other hand, the marathons – the relentless, incessant, steady, persistent, continual trials that won’t go away – they may bruise us, but they build character.” – Charles Swindoll (from his book “Clinging to Hope”)
