We are so excited about some doors that God has openned for us during our time here in Quebec. We visited Rock Forest Church here in Quebec. On our first Sunday there we found out the Rock Forest Church was launching out a Church plant called Axe 21. Just a note on the name, don’t do like I did, assuming Axe, was the French way of spelling the book of Acts. I was actually quite curious about what was in Acts chapter 21. I was visiting with the Pastor of Rock Forest Church after the service and mentioned about it being Axe (which I thought meant the Book of Acts) 21. He said, there is no book called Axe in the French Bible, if you have one in yours, you are probably at the wrong Church. 🙂 Language blunder #1. Assuming I knew what it meant without any real reason except that it sounded the same as the english word. I guess english is not the language by which all other languages are measured after all. 🙂 So, to my best understanding the english version of the church name is Focus 21. Axe 21 is part of the Acts29 network and will be the first Acts 29 Network church plant in Quebec. One of our sending churches, Mercy Hill Lake Country, is part of the Acts 29 Network. You can click here to see a youtube video, in english, about the AXE 21 church plant. The Church website, which is all in French, is axe21.org . You can read the Church profile, in english, on the Acts29 network website by clicking here.
Last Sunday was the first Sunday they met, and Jenny and I were priviledged to be there for their first service. Jenny helped out in the children’s ministry and I was able to pick up a few words from the Sermon, since it of course was all in French. I will post some pics and some short video clips of the worship. You may well recognize the tune, but probably not the words. 🙂
Please pray for our family that we would be a blessing to the AXE 21 church plant and that God would use the churches in Quebec to see many come to know Him as savior. Please pray with us for Sherbrooke and for Quebec.
