History

Assemblée chrétienne de Quévillon, Lebel-sur-Quévillon,  Nord-du-Quebec,  Canada, is a French open brethren assembly. Quévillon is located about 180 miles northeast of Rouyn-Noranda and about 130 miles southwest of Chibougamau. Two daughters of the Lepage family from Ste-Anne-des-Monts in the Gaspé peninsula were married and living in Quévillon. When two of their brothers in Ste-Anne-des- Monts were saved in the early 1970s, they witnessed to their sisters and their husbands. Gaston Jolin made contact with them and before long one of the sisters and her husband accepted the Lord. The other sister and her husband were saved shortly thereafter. Some of them visited Camp Joli-B in the Abitibi and helped with the work there and at the same time learned to enjoy the fellowship of other Christians. Gaston and others continued to visit from time to time and gradually the number of believers grew. One of them, Hervé Bélanger, built himself a house with a basement that could be used as a meeting-room. In the spring of 1978, they began having regular meetings including the Lord’s Supper each Sunday morning. Hervé served as correspondent until his homecall around 2007 when he was replaced by his brother Réno, followed by Serge Labrie.
