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.

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
