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 & Eighty One
In cleaning our office this week, I found a small book by John Blanchard entitled “Ultimate Questions.” Here is what he wrote in the introduction: “Life is full of questions. Some are trivial, some more serious – and some tremendously important. Even as you read these words you may have questions about your health, your financial situation, your job, your family or your future. But the greatest, the ultimate questions, are about God and your relationship to him. Nothing in life is more important than this. Good health, financial stability, secure employment, a contented family and a hopeful future are all things that people want. Yet even these are temporary and eventually pointless unless you have a living relationship with God, one that is clear and certain – and will last forever.”
One of the chapters in this book is entitled “Ìs sin serious?” Here is what John Blanchard shared: “When disease is first diagnosed, it is important to ask the question: ‘Is it serious?’ It is even more important to ask that question about the spiritual disease of sin. Many people will almost cheerfully admit to being sinners, because they have no idea what this means. They treat it as being ‘just human nature’, or they shelter behind the fact that ‘everybody does it’. But those statements dodge the real issue: is sin serious? Here are some of the things the Bible says about you as a sinner.
You are debased. This does not mean that you are as bad as you can possibly be, nor that you are constantly committing every sin … But it does mean that sin has invaded every part of your nature and personality – your mind, will, affections, conscience, disposition and imagination … The root of your trouble is not what you do but what you are! You sin because you are a sinner.
You are defiled. The Bible pulls no punches here. For from within, out of men`s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. Notice that the list includes thoughts, words and actions. This shows that in God’s sight all sin is equally serious.
You are defiant. The Bible teaches that sin is lawlessness, deliberate rebellion against God’s authority and law … God can never be ‘soft’ about sin, and you can be sure that not even one sin will go unpunished.”
In Dr. David Jeremiah’s Study Bible, he has the following observations about what Acts 5:1-11 reveals: “The story of Ananias and Sapphira and its follow-up are dramatic. Here is what their story teaches us:
The strategies of Satan. The Bible says Satan uses strategies and schemes in his attacks against the people of God (2 Cor. 2:11; Eph. 6:11). He is constantly plotting ways to destroy the work of God by dividing, disgracing, discouraging and destroying the people of God.
The seriousness of sin. Many people wonder whether God overdid His judgment of Ananias and Sapphira. When viewed in the grand scope of Scripture – not at all.
The success of the church. God focuses on quantity growth as well as quality growth. The church in Acts experienced both kinds of growth in cycles. Deepening in fellowship and purity is quality growth, while a multitude coming to Christ is quantity growth. We see both in Acts, and we should expect to see both in our churches today.”
In looking at emails this morning, I read one from a friend who grew up in Montreal and moved to the U.S. to serve in a Christian mission. She asked for prayer as she has a meeting scheduled tomorrow with a health professional. Karen and I have been blessed to have family and friends pray for us and the Quebec radio ministry for many years. We would ask that you pray for our sister in Christ.
May the Lord give you great joy as you walk with Him!
Scripture for the weekend: “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV)
Thought for the weekend: “Know it or not, like it or not, you and I are in a war! And we need to begin living as if we were in a battle for our lives. Because, in fact, we are.” – Stu Weber
