Assemblee Chretienne, Fermont, QC

In 1974, two Christian families moved from the Montreal area to Fermont, located in a major mining centre near the Quebec-Labrador border. Two years later, they were visited and encouraged by commended workers Roger Drouyn and his wife Irène from Saint-Guillaume, Quebec. Subsequently, on a second visit in 1978, six adults were baptized and a young woman trusted Christ as her Saviour. The believers were then encouraged to hold meetings in their homes and to teach their children. A phone call, later in the same year, underscored the need for outside help to provide spiritual nourishment for the believers to strengthen them in the face of those who would cause divisions. The following year, 1979, Rosaire Mayrand, who had served as correspondent for the assembly at Drummondville from 1965 to 1976, appears in the same role at Fermont. The assembly, then meeting in his home, subsequently disappeared from the pages of News of Quebec.
