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

December 21, 2023Dear friends,
If you are like me, you have been busy wrapping gifts to put under the Christmas tree for loved ones. Thinking about presents brings to mind the greatest gift ever: the gift of God’s Son, who left the splendor of Heaven to be born in a lowly manger in Bethlehem. In recent weeks, Karen and I have been watching “The Chosen” a series that has helped us to visualize what life was like in Israel approximately 2,000 years ago. You can learn more about the first multi-season series about the life of Christ at: www.thechosen.tv
One of the things that we enjoy doing when we go to the U.S. is to go to Hobby Lobby, where Christian books and Bibles are available, as well as many items for those who are skilled at making crafts or know someone would benefit from a wide array of supplies. We found a 40-day devotional by Amanda Jenkins, Kristen Hendricks and Dallas Jenkins that is based on “The Chosen.” Here are some excerpts from the devotional on Day 1:
“Every follower of Jesus has a not-so-great ‘before’: A rash, brash fisherman. A pious, fancy-pants religious leader. A thieving, indifferent-to-suffering tax collector. A demon-possessed woman so insignificant that her ‘before’ isn’t even recorded and we’re left to surmise what might’ve been.
And yet God calls people in the ‘before’ – when they aren’t even aware they’re simply broken versions of themselves. God calls people before He begins His transformative work of redemption because He sees past the ‘before’ to what He purposed and planned. He sees past the ‘before’ to those He loves enough to call His own … Israel was rebelling against all God had done for them and all He wanted to do. But God didn’t turn away – He showed mercy. He spoke His love over His chosen people, claiming them as His own before they agreed to be … God speaks what is true over us too; His plan of redemption is on the march, because He has called us by name …
Every follower of Jesus has a not-so-great ‘before.’ But every follower of Jesus also has an ‘after.’ The rowdy fisherman became the bedrock preacher of the early church, healer of the sick and lame, and fearless unto death. The leader of impersonal religion became personal friends with Jesus, finally understanding and being changed by the Scriptures he’d devoted his life to studying. The taxman traitor became a member of the elite twelve and author of the first Gospel of the New Testament. And the woman? The woman too insignificant to even have her ‘before’ recorded was so precious to Jesus that she became the first person He appeared to after He rose from the dead, the first one to hear His tender voice, and the first witness of the culmination of all He claimed to be and do – and she got to tell the boys.”
If you have never asked God’s forgiveness for your sins, don’t put it off. The Saviour waits with open arms for you to come to Him by faith. If you are a believer, thank the Lord for His love and grace, meditate on His Word, and share the good news of salvation with those you meet.
Scripture for the weekend: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are mine.” Isaiah 43:1 (NKJV)
Thought for the weekend: “Jesus reveals a God who comes in search of us.” – Philip Yancey
