What is Momentum?

Momentum is gathering for youth aged 17 to 30 years (17-30 years is the target group, but you are welcome whatever your age - at your own risk …), students or not, speaking of preferences (all language groups are invited, but the event is in French only). It is a regional effort, inter-church, a sort of mini-conference evening.

• The goal is to create a framework to encourage and equip young Christians in the Outaouais region (and beyond) in their Christian walk. Life offers many challenges and live their faith, whether at school, on the labor market, or among friends, is far from clear. Would you like a little encouragement?
• It is also a platform to allow exchange with other Christians, share ideas, challenges and issues, through existing relationships, or those who create through these meetings.
• It is also an ideal context to invite friends who are not Christians, and bring a first meeting in a church that specifically targets the generation of students.

What should I expect?

During the evening we will have a time of praise, which reflects the target group (17-30 years), a message of the Bible by Norman Joseph, a discussion time where everyone has a say and a coffee-dessert.

Another thing: bring your cell, just say you might need it.

And medium term?

The first edition of Momentum will be held December 12 at the Evangelical Baptist Church of Gatineau (more details in the Info section), and we hope to repeat the experiment several times a year in the future.

PRAYER REQUESTS from Quebec City regarding Gospel distribution

God used the recent outreach in Quebec to stir-up the hearts of the people in Quebec City. The following is a list of prayer request received by the prayer lines.

Please prayer for these people. Although you may not know them, they have reached out to the Church of Jesus Christ to make their requests known unto God. Pray for them as requested, but please also pray that they would come to know the Christ who by his death bought for them the mercy that sustains their lives and the way the father.

Pray also for many others who received bibles. Declare that God’s word never returns empty, that these bibles WILL bring people to Christ.

Below are the detailed request from a small percentage of respondents;

Aline from Beloeil, is asking for our prayers. Robert, her 44 year old son is depressed and doesn¹t enjoy life anymore.

Carole, also from Beloeil, is a Christian, but she has a problem with alcohol. She says she keeps falling in this old sin, these days. She is very sad. Part of her problem resides in the fact that her husband drinks too. She would like the Lord to help her stop drinking. May He give her strength.

Gilles from Longueuil, a Christian, stays with an unsaved woman. His pastor knows about this situation. Please pray that the Lord gives him courage and wisdom in this situation, as he seems to be torn apart between his pastor and that woman.

Mrs Therrien from Terrebonne, wants us to pray for her health. She is suffering from arthritis. The pain is very severe from her lower back, down to her feet.

Pierre from Chicoutimi asks for our prayers. He would like the social worker to find him another place to stay, as his actual landlord acts violently towards him. He would like to move out.

Richard G. from Montreal. Please pray that the Lord delivers him from the covetousness of his eyes. He wants to remain faithful to Him and constantly asks forgiveness. He wants to grow in His grace and be filled with His Holy Spirit.

Mr. Geoffrion, a Christian, would like us to pray for his daughter Judie. She is a Christian, but she now has a boy in her life. She is slowly drifting apart from her assembly and from her Bible reading. She has even gone away to stay with her unsaved friend. May the Lord protect and keep her, give her wisdom, and finally bring her back to Him.

Sophie from Iberville, is a Christian and an epileptic. She is very discouraged. She would like to start reading the Bible again, be more concentrated when she reads, be positive, and also get outside the house to make some friends. Let us pray for Sophie.

Therese from St-Jerome, is a Christian. But before her conversion, she was involved with occultism, and was in contact with Œshamans¹. Today, she is suffering form acute pain in her side. She thinks it is a punishment from God. She asks for our prayers, so she may be relieved of this pain.

Yannick, a lady from Longueuil, is asking for our prayers so her fellowship with God may be restored. She feels very far from him, but she does not know why.

Fellowship French Mission Financial Needs

A Report from Daria Tomiuk from 24-7Prayer.com

2009 is off to a great start within 24-7 Prayer Canada – a lot is happening! We’re only 12 days into the year and there has already been 7 prayer room set up and more on the way. This week a church in Weyburn, Saskatchewan and

Greenfield Park, Quebec are praying non-stop all week. The church in Greenfield Park is praying specifically for transformation in Quebec, currently the largest mission field in

North America. Please keep these two communities in your prayers this week; God has been doing amazing work through these prayer rooms.

I just got report from a church who prayed last week; this is what the pastor wrote: Our week of prayer has been going great. We have had a great response for the church and community around us. We don’t need anything specific just a few prayers that things continue to go well and positively. We are seeing people who have never come to church - come and experience God. Last year at this time our church went through a horrible death of a youth within the church - due to an overdose. But family members have been coming regularly and I prayed with one youth who is about 14 and said that he felt like their was a rope around his neck, and he couldn’t breathe or barely handle living. After we prayed and he spent time in the room - he came to me and said that the rope is gone and he feels free and can finally move on. So God is being gracious and good. Thanks for checking in, grace and peace,This is just one example of how God is working through these focused times of prayer, it’s truly amazing!

Gospel of John Distribution in Trois-Riviere

The outreach in Quebec City this summer has helped produce the vision for similar outreach projects in the future. Next summer, July 28 through August 2 2009, there will be another distribution of the Gospel of John in French in Trois- Rivieres, (hopefully 100,000 copies) a city with a population of approximately 130,000. However, with the surrounding region considered, the outreach would include a population of 200,000 - 250,000. In 2010 the focus will be Paris, France, July 15 through 25. The greater metropolitan area of Paris is about 12,000,000. Finally, though not yet in any planning stage, would the Lord allow for the distribution of one million copies of the Gospel of John in Montreal in French in the near future? The greater Montreal area has a population of over 3,500,000.

Pray for wisdom, discernment and insight as these visions are considered, planned and carried out.

Pray that this vision of spreading God’s word would be carried out in all cities in Quebec

Pray for the hearts those who will receive the Gospel that there hearts would be led to Christ in repentence.

Praise and Thanksgiving - 380,000 Gospel of John copies distributed in Quebec City

Praise and Thanksgiving-

380,000 copies distributed

Though the actual data has not been compiled yet, some general

results of this outreach in Quebec give much reason for praise

and thanksgiving. The goal of distributing 350,000 copies of the

Gospel of John was surpassed with nearly 380,000 copies actually

being distributed. More than 1,000 people participated in this

distribution, including 13 churches from the Quebec City region

and at least 8 churches from other areas of Quebec. Still other

churches from Canada were represented in the some 150 people

from those areas. More than 35 people from the United States

represented at least 5 churches. Finally, 10 churches from Europe,

represented by 40 some people, also participated. Not only did

the Lord bless this outreach with such a large participation,

but also by the fellowship, cooperation, service and love which

was readily observed. Praise and thanksgiving are lifted to the

Lord for allowing much seed to be planted during this outreach

in Quebec City. Some harvest of fruit was immediate, but most

of the seed needs to be watered, cultivated and nurtured. Pray

that the Lord will give the area churches the means, power,

wisdom and desire to follow-up and disciple what has already

been planted.

Quebec Election - December 8th, 2008

It is just over a week into the Quebec election campaign and the three party leaders have seen their campaigns marred by name-calling and squabbling, which has only added to voters’ cynicism about an election that many believe is unnecessary. Liberal Leader Jean Charest was called a liar by Parti Québécois Leader Pauline Marois. Not to be outdone, Finance Minister Monique Jérôme-Forget described her Action Démocratique du Québec critic Gilles Taillon a “jerk” during a television encounter. So far it has been a messy campaign, and no leader has been able to make a mark. It is getting mesy and we need to pray.

• Pray that voters would not be turned off by these squabbles, but would see through them and still vote on the issues.
• Pray for a strong voter turnout
• Pray that the leaders will lay aside their clashes in personality, and focus the election on the issues.
• Pray for the leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, Jean Charest and the leader of the Parti Québécois, Pauline Marois. Please pray firstly for their salvation
• Pray that Quebec will be a provence that honours and serves God
  • Pray that Quebec will be a place which demonstrates righteousness, justice, compassion and generosity
  • Pray that the Holy Spirit will bring a spirit of repentance across our land
  • Pray that individuals and leaders will seek and demonstrate forgiveness
  • Pray that Christians would have both grace and the courage to be bold
  • Pray for the Spiritual Strength of Quebec

 Please hide this scripture in your heart and keep Québec’s leaders in Prayer.

Pray for All People

 1First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2^(A) for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and^(B) dignified in every way. 3This is good, and^(C) it is pleasing in the sight of^(D) God our Savior, 4who desires^(E) all people to be saved and^(F) to come to^(G) the knowledge of the truth.

1 Timothy 2:1
