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 & Forty Five
Dear friends,
In recent weeks I have been blessed by reading about how God has transformed a number of individuals who were in very difficult circumstances. One of those was a sailor who was on the HMS Bounty in 1789. This ship became famous when Fletcher Christian led a mutiny against Captain William Bligh, setting him and eighteen loyal sailors adrift before returning to Tahiti. After leaving some sailors there, Christian and eight sailors took some Tahitians to an uninhabited island called Pitcairn. Whiskey made from the native plants led to drunkenness and violent brawls.
In his book “Reason to Rejoice” Ray C. Stedman describes what happened next: “One by one, the mutinous crewmen were either killed in fights or murdered in their sleep. Even Fletcher Christian died violently. Finally, only one of the mutineers was left alive, a sailor named Alexander Smith. As the last man living, he felt responsible to look after the women and fatherless children who remained. Smith regretted the sinfulness of his past, and he knew he lacked wisdom to care for the women and children. He needed guidance from beyond himself.
Looking through a sea-chest, Smith found a Bible. Over the next few weeks, he read it from cover to cover. Then he asked God to take control of his life. He also taught the women and children to read the Bible.
In 1808, the American whaling shipTopaz stopped at Pitcairn. The Americans were the first visitors to the island since the mutiny on the Bounty, eighteen years earlier. The sailors from the Topaz were astounded to find an orderly Christian society in which there was no crime, no disease, no alcoholism, and no illiteracy.”
Would you please pray for J.R. who has been battling a desire for strong drink? Originally from El Salvador, he has lived in Quebec for many years. He first came to our office last fall and has visited several times since then. J.R. is separated from his wife and two sons. He gave me permission to share his story. Let’s pray that he, like Alexander Smith, will find abundant life in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Scripture for the weekend:“Who is a God like Thee, who pardons iniquity and passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain his anger forever, because He delights in unchanging love. He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities underfoot. Yes, Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.” Micah 7:18-19 (NASB)
Thought for the weekend: “God does not ask men to behave, but to believe. It is faith in Christ that saves the sinner. Eternal life in Christ is one gift that is suitable for all people, no matter what their need may be or what their station in life.” – Warren W. Wiersbe (from his book “Be Right”)
By His grace,
Steve
