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

Last night, Karen and I watched a powerful testimony by Lysa TerKeust and a very moving film entitled “Woman in Gold.” You can hear Lysa share how she grew up and how she came to faith in Christ at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saoCm4FoTNo
Helen Mirren portrays Maria Altmann, an octogenarian Jewish refugee who takes on the Austrian government to recover artwork that was taken from her family by Nazi soldiers during World War II. Besides a couple of expletives, the film is filled with exceptional acting, as well as some scenes of landmarks in Vienna that reminded us of buildings in Old Montreal.
Earlier this week, Karen and I were driving in Montreal and saw people from many countries. This reminded me of when I was in Europe with Operation Mobilization during the 1970s. A lot has changed in the development of technology and information processing in the past few decades, but what has remained the same is mankind’s need of forgiveness for sins, which only faith in the Lord Jesus makes possible.
In the March/April 2024 edition of “Faith Today” magazine, Bruce J. Cleminger writes: “It has been called humanity’s longest hatred – the hatred of Jews. And it is on the rise in Canada. Hate crime statistics show that Jews are the most targeted religious group.
Since the terrorist attacks in Israel Oct. 7, the greatest loss of Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, you would think incidents would decrease out of horror and sympathy, but the opposite has occurred. Instances of hatred have increased. Rather than a universal condemnation of the Oct. 7 attacks, too many have celebrated and justified terrorism.”
Bruce Cleminger, senior ambassador and president emeritus of The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, writes: “I attended the ceremony marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day held at the Holocaust Memorial in Ottawa on Jan. 27, the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945. ‘Never again’ is the refrain – never again will we allow the genocide of the Jewish people.
But many at the ceremony questioned the authenticity of the commitment to ‘never again’ in the face of the expressions of hate, verbal thuggery, harassment and acts of violence toward Jews in Canada, and protests being held in predominantly Jewish neighbourhoods … targeting Jews and making them feel unsafe and unwelcome is eerily reminiscent of the anti-Semitism expressed in Canada in the 1920s and ’30s … Early expressions of anti-Semitism in Germany in the early 1930s were much the same. Jews targeted because they are Jews.
And they are not alone. The day after Holocaust Remembrance Day was the seventh anniversary of the killings of six Muslims in a Quebec City mosque. Another 19 were wounded in the attack … Muslims have also experienced an increase in hate speech and intimidation since Oct. 7 … Many Christians have also come to Canada to escape oppression and persecution – to find refuge, a safe space to live and worship in freedom.
The Bible calls Christians to practise civility and show hospitality (Luke 5:29-30; 10:25-37). We are to love our enemies (Matthew 5:43-46; Mark 12:31; Luke 6:27-35). We are to weep with those who weep and mourn with those who mourn (Romans 12:15).”
May we ask the Lord to help us share His Word in what we say and do, so that others will be attracted to the One who is the Light of the world.
Scripture for the weekend: “Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.’” John 8:12 (NASB)
Thought for the weekend: “We exist to exhibit God, to display his glory. We serve as canvases for his brush stroke, papers for his pen, soil for his seeds, glimpses of his image.” – Max Lucado
