May God grant labourers for Quebec until the field is overrun with eager harvesters.

Amen!

What happened to John Thevenot?

BOOMM and MrsB have visited this beautiful city!

There are not many churches across the US border either.

Burlington (Essex Center) and Barre, VT are two that come to mind.

I would think it is almost closer to Burlington, than Montreal for these towns.

I have visited this city during the time of Pastor Thevenots pastorate there. I also later on had the privilege of pastoring a fine family that were living and going to church there at this time also.

I might get in trouble with the Canucks around here but I will say it anyway...Quebec City is the best city I have ever visited in Canada. I have seen nothing like it across North America. If it is true that there is NOT a oneness church in that wonderful city, that is a shame!

Is he still there?

I know he became independant. I would doubt he would abandon his Oneness beliefs after how he came to them.

Background. He was from my home church in Louisiana. He was so intent on going to Quebec, he did not teach his children English, only French.

I love Quebec City too. We were seriously considering going there to start a work back around '79 but God totally changed our direction.

Although we may not have seen what we're believing for in regard to churches being planted and revival in Quebec, I believe that God is working there. There has been so much intercession, burden, sacrifice, and giving through the years. God has not turned a blind eye or a deaf ear. There are times and seasons in the plan of God and a harvest WILL be reaped .... IS in fact being reaped.

Even though God may not have placed US in that part of the world harvest field, we can "go" there anyhow through praying in the Holy Ghost and great things can be achieved in the Spirit that way.

I do know of one man who is not in a Oneness organization but is Oneness personally in his own theology who has planted several churches and been successful in establishing works there.

Some ground is more difficult to work than other places. The environment is different as well. In Quebec there has been a Roman Catholic hold on the minds and hearts of the people for hundreds of years and even though most RCs don't adhere to their faith or even attend church or believe anymore, culturally they're still bound. Spiritually they're empty.

Reminds me a bit of like it has been in China where due to the fact that everything the Chinese believed in regard to religion was ripped from them (cultural revolution), it created a situation where they had nothing to fill the void. Spiritually, they too were "empty". But God has moved in such a mighty and powerful way in China.

The same thing can happen in Quebec. Any why not? :)

The last time I saw Bro.Thevenot was over a year and a half ago. at the time he was still living in the province of Quebec pastoring an English work there among the First Nations.
Actually the Lord began to deal with me as a young person many moons ago about working amongst the french thru the ministry of Bro.Thevenot.At the time he was pastoring in Bathurst N.B. and my pastor had invited him for special meetings.He also taught us French at the Bible school in Fredericton.

We supported the Thevenots for several years and he was with us in C'man more than once for missions conferences.

I guess through the years that we've $$$ supported most of the guys who have worked in Quebec - UPC and some who aren't UPC.
