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.

Spiritually-speaking, our perspective in life also determines which sources of information we will turn to. Do we value the opinions of talk show hosts more than the wisdom of God? Believers in Christ ought to value time reading and meditating on the Word of God more than watching television and listening to radio commentators. Recently, the expression “fake news” has received a great deal of attention. It is reassuring to know that the Bible is full of truth and that the Lord Jesus Christ is “the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6).
Yesterday the news announced that the stock market reacted to current events by registering its lowest numbers of this year. In Kahnawake (a native reserve next to Chateauguay) there is a sign that reads “Safe and Secure” near a building with storage units. When I saw the sign, I immediately thought of the words to the hymn “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.” In his book “Amazing Grace,” Kenneth W. Osbeck tells how this beloved hymn came to be written: “…devout Presbyterian layman Anthony J. Showalter received sorrowful letters from two different friends, telling him of their recent bereavements. In sending messages of comfort to them, Mr. Showalter included Deuteronomy 33:27 (please see Scripture below). As he concluded his letters the thought occurred to him that this verse would be a fine theme for a hymn. Almost spontaneously he jotted down the words and music for the refrain of this soon-to-be favorite.”
If you were to look up the background of “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” you would find that two men composed this hymn. That is because Mr. Showalter asked his friend Elisha Hoffman, a pastor and author of more than 2,000 gospel songs, to write the stanzas. The hymn was published in 1887 and has been sung by people around the world ever since.
Thought for the weekend: “Our failure to understand exactly who God is and what His priorities include is often one of the biggest factors in our unmet expectations.” – Aaron Sharp (from his book “I Didn’t Sign Up For This”)
