 On
behalf of the Fellowship French Mission and our
team of missionaries in French Canada, welcome to
our web site.
We use the term "French Canada" to refer
to the 6,800,000 Canadian citizens who speak French
as their first language. The overall population
of Canada is estimated at 33,500,000 (in 2006).
Approximately 85% of Canada’s francophones
live in Quebec but there are also large concentrations
in northern Ontario, the Ottawa Valley, northern
New Brunswick and on the east coast of New Brunswick.
Only 0.54% (half of one percent) of Canada’s
francophones identify themselves as evangelical
Christians, which makes Canada’s French-speaking
population the "most unreached mission field
in North America." This is our mission field
and where we serve as a mission.
The strength of our mission lies in our wonderful
team of missionaries. Most of them were born in
Quebec, and experienced a dramatic conversion experience
when they met Jesus Christ and committed their lives
to Him. They are devoted to ministry and sharing
the good news of Jesus Christ to their own people.
Most of our missionaries are directly or indirectly
involved in church planting, which is at the very
heart of our mission: As a National Agency of The
Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada,
our mission is to help in the establishment of new
and growing francophone churches in Quebec, and
the other French-speaking regions of Canada.
As you visit our site, we hope and pray you will
be touched and inspired to share our vision and
burden for the spiritual needs of Quebec. We want
to encourage you to become a partner of the Fellowship
French Mission in praying and giving, and perhaps
even participating in our ministry.
