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 Six Hundred & Thirty Nine
December 8, 2023Our granddaughter, Hailey, is celebrating her second birthday today. A few weeks ago, we had the joy of hearing her recite the alphabet. Yesterday, I had the blessing of being with my father for a special luncheon that was held in the residence where he lives. Dad pointed out that a man at another table was 100 years old. He didn’t look a day over 99! As Karen and I see our six grandchildren grow, we are reminded of how many changes are happening in their lives, as well as in the world. More than ever, we need to ask the Lord to guide us and to shine His love through us.
In “Bless the Lord. O My Soul: 365 Devotions for Prayer and Worship” published by Our Daily Bread Ministries, David Roper writes: “After all these years, I still don`t fully understand prayer. It`s something of a mystery to me. But one thing I know: When we`re in desperate need, prayer springs naturally from our lips and from the deepest level of our hearts.
When we’re frightened out of our wits, when we’re pushed beyond our limits, when we’re pulled out of our comfort zones, when our well-being is challenged and endangered, we reflexively and involuntarily resort to prayer. ‘Help, Lord!’ is our natural cry.
Author Eugene Peterson wrote: ‘The language of prayer is forged in the crucible of trouble. When we can’t help ourselves and call for help, when we don’t like where we are and want out, when we don’t like who we are and want a change, we use primal language, and this language becomes the root language of prayer.’
Prayer begins in trouble, and it continues because we’re always in trouble at some level. It requires no special preparation, no precise vocabulary, no appropriate posture. It springs from us in the face of necessity and, in time, becomes our habitual response to every issue – good and bad – we face in this life (Philippians 4:6). What a privilege it is to carry everything to God in prayer!”
Reading that last sentence brings to mind the melody of the hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” At the luncheon yesterday, a man played guitar and sang a mixture of Christmas songs and popular songs from the 1970s and 1980s. These tunes brought back memories of my youth and friends whom I haven`t seen for a long time.
At this time of year, it is great to be with family and friends. May we share the good news of salvation through faith in Christ Jesus as we look forward to His return, which may be sooner than we think.
Scripture for the weekend: “I cried out to Thee, O Lord; I said, ‘Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.’” Psalm 142:5 (NASB)
Thought for the weekend: “‘Heads up’ is a funny little term when you think about it. If you are at a sports event and someone yells, ‘Heads up!’ that could be a problem. Perhaps an errant ball is coming your way, and the best thing for you to do is to duck and cover, not look up and risk getting smacked in the face.
But if we understand that the term is not to be taken literally but that it means to be alert, it makes sense to be ‘heads up’ about things. To be aware of what is going on around us and to be engaged in our situation.” – from the Introduction to “Bless the Lord. O My Soul: 365 Devotions for Prayer and Worship”
