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 Five Hundred & Thirty One
In our Bible study group on Zoom last night, we looked at the arrest of Jesus in John 18. When Judas decided to betray Jesus, he arranged for a detachment of troops (v. 3) to accompany him. I was surprised to learn that the detachment of Roman soldiers included about 600 men. These men, along with officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, fell to the ground when Jesus said “I am He” (v. 6). Earlier in the Gospel of John, we read: “No man ever spoke like this Man!” (7:46). We also see that Jesus answered the Jews in a similar way as He did the officers: “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (8:58). This echoes the words that Moses heard from God in Exodus 3: “I AM WHO I AM. Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you” (v. 14).
As we examined the account of the betrayal and arrest of Jesus in John 18, we realized that it is important to read the accounts in the other three gospels. Matthew, Mark, and Luke provide other information and insights. While John is the only gospel writer to report Jesus’ interview with Annas (v. 13), Matthew recorded more than John did of what Jesus said to Peter after he cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant: “Or do you think that I cannot now pray to my Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?” (26:53). In his Study Bible, Dr. David Jeremiah writes: “With a word He could have summoned more than twelve legions of angels – 72,000 warriors eager to snuff out His enemies. Each angel can overpower countless men; in one night, one angel killed 185,000 marauding Assyrian troops who were threatening Jerusalem (2 Kings 19:35).” Jesus knew “all things that would come upon Him” (John 18:4) and let Judas arrange to arrest Him.
Mark wrote about Jesus’ trial before the Sanhedrin (14:55-64) and Luke recorded that Jesus turned and looked at Peter after he denied Him three times (23:61). As we read all four gospels, we get a better understanding of what Jesus said and did.
In the Scripture for the weekend, the words that Jesus cried out on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles (see Leviticus 23 for more about this) are recorded. In his Study Bible, Dr. David Jeremiah writes: “On the final day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the priests’ group would go to the pool of Siloam and draw water into golden pitchers, which they would pour onto the altar of sacrifice at the temple. They would then sing songs from Isaiah 12:3 and Psalm 114:7, 8. This ritual was a reminder of God’s provision in the wilderness.
Thought for the weekend: “The good news is that Jesus has the power to heal the wounds we cause. He often can undo the mistakes we make. Of course, it is better to stay in tune with our Lord’s program right from the beginning. We should take to heart His rebuke to Simon Peter: ‘Put away your sword! That’s not the way I work. I am not here to destroy, to cut people apart. I’m here to put people back together again.’” – Ray C. Stedman (from his book “God’s Loving Word”)
