One Thousand Churches: A Movement to Saturate Quebec with the Gospel of Jesus Oct 14, 2019

by Brian Michael Stegner, Dwight Bernier

( 13 )

$3.99

Since 2005, we’ve seen an unprecedented number of church planters called by God to serve in the Canadian province of Quebec, as well as a new openness to the gospel among the people. This is hugely significant because Quebec and the Quebecois people represent the largest unreached people group in North America. (For comparison, consider that there are more Christians per-capita in Egypt than in Quebec.) Quebec’s unique religious and cultural history provide both daunting challenges and exciting opportunities for the spread of the gospel. Building on the legacy of the twentieth century missionaries who first brought the gospel into Quebec, our twenty-first century movement seeks to continue this work by seeing Quebec completely saturated and transformed by the good news of Jesus' finished work through community evangelism, leadership development, missional church planting, and church revitalization.

"I mention the Stegners when I talk to people about what living a healthy family life on mission looks like. And this health has continuously overflowed into our missional communities, churches, church plants, and replants. Brian and Severine have grown to become a solid pastoral presence for all key-leaders within our movement. His executive coordination is an important element for the significant growth we are experiencing. Having him full time is a game changer for what God is doing in Quebec." - Norton Lages, Director, Mission Quebec

"Brian has an incredible ability to make vision come to life - and often better than it looked in the plans. His seemingly inexhaustible reserves of creativity and knowledge have significantly helped move things forward in Quebec and Canada. His gift mix is irreplaceable and unique. Can't imagine not working with him!" - Dwight Bernier, Network Director, Acts 29 Canada

Revenge of the Scoby...

Refusing to drink of its byproducts, I had totally forgotten about the Scoby until one day my wife asked for my help in ‘feeding’ it. Apparently it had become too heavy for her to lift on her own. (If that line doesn’t give you pause, you’re not paying attention.)

“How heavy can that little film thing be?” I asked myself.

Horror.
