WHAT ARE WE DOING? 

We'll answer this question in 4 parts: locally, regionally, provincially, and globally

LOCALLY (above): We are starting a brand-new French-speaking church in the St-Jérôme region (130,000+ people). This church is a daughter church of Terrebonne Mascouche... the first in a (Lord-willing) long succession. We began a core group the fall of 2006, grew this core group through 2007, and began Sunday morning services January of 2008 in an art gallery (the large room where we hold services is where they hold art workshops).  In St-Jérôme we are involved in evangelism, compassion, college-ministries (Le Lounge), small groups, and intensive prayer, as well as much else.

One other couple, Jacob and Marie-Paul, works with us in ministry full-time. They were both born and raised in Quebec.

REGIONALLY (above):  We are part of "La Vision Conquérante" of the regional vision of Terrebonne-Masouche church. Louis (the pastor of Terrebonne Mascouche) desires to plant 10 daughter churches and train 20 new pastors before he retires (he's in his mid-fifties). St-Jérôme is the first in this succession. Rob is part of the action group (of 5 leaders) which is spearheading and overseeing this undertaking, as well as surfacing and training of new church planters. Currently we are planning the next church plant in St-Eustache.

PROVINCIALLY (above): Quebec has a French-speaking population of 6 million. Rob is a member of an action group spearheading and overseeing the 30-100-100-10 vision (30 new churches, 100 new workers, 100 total churches... in 10 years). We are on pace to achieve each aspect of this vision by 2012!

Quebec churches really have a passion to reach their brother and sister Quebeckers through church planting. Nearly 50% of all healthy baptist churches in Quebec are involved in planting a new daughter church.

GLOBALLY: Our passion is that this movement would spill over to the rest of "La Francophonie" (the French-speaking world)... that church planting movements we be founded and helped all around the world.

We work in primary partnership with a host of churches and individuals throughout the USA and Canada. We have been appointed with World Venture (a Baptistic missions organization), as well as have strategic partnerships with FEB International, The Fellowship of Evangelical Baptists, Missions Door, the Fellowship French Mission, as well as others.

Thank you for being a part of this amazing work that our great God is doing.

In Christ, 

...Rob, Martine, Caleb, and Constance
