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.
Action Mondiale d’Évangélisation (Québec) Inc is the name of the Québec incorporation of MissionGO

Aches and Praise Two Hundred & Ninety Eight
In reading the book of Habakkuk this morning, Karen and I were struck by the relevance of this short book to the world today. One of the questions addressed by Habakkuk to God is: “How can You let such evil run rampant in the land?” God did not answer all of Habakkuk’s questions, but He did assure him of His sovereignty. In light of the horrific bombing of children in Manchester on Monday, many people are asking the same question as Habakkuk did approximately 2,600 years ago.
The prophet begins his dialogue with God by complaining, which is how many Canadians (and others) react to adversity and difficulty. He tells God in the midst of his complaint that He doesn’t listen. Of course, he means that he is not getting the answer that he wants, but to accuse Almighty God of not listening is absurd. Which of us has not said or done something as ridiculous as this?
In the third verse of the first chapter of his book, Habakkuk states: “destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds.” He goes on to say “the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails.” His frustration leads him to exaggerate the extent of injustice. The Lord answered Habakkuk by saying “I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told” (1:5). The prophet continues his complaining by asking God: “Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?” (1:13).
One question that is not often asked today is: “Who is righteous?” The prophet Habakkuk provides the answer to this question in the second chapter of his book, when he records the Lord’s answer to his questions: “… the righteous will live by his faith” (2:4). Saul was blinded by the light of the Lord after seeking to destroy Christians (please read Acts 8 & 9 for much more about this). After his conversion, the apostle Paul wrote about justification by faith in his epistle to the believers in Rome (1:17) and Galatia (3:11). Habakkuk 2:4 is also quoted in Hebrews 10:38.
By His grace,
Steve
