Changes

In 1952, [[Roger Dupont]] along with Léo Papillon from the assembly at Cap-de-la-Madeleine moved to Drummondville for employment reasons. They sought out and began meeting in the home of Mr. James Howitt who had been living there for a number of years, having himself taken employment in a large manufacturing plant in the city. [[Paul Boëda]] along with a few brethren from Sherbrooke gave a helping hand and it was soon decided to start the breaking of bread at Roger Dupont’s home and also to have gospel meetings on Sunday afternoons. At that time Drummondville had a population of 35,000, mainly French Roman Catholics, the majority of whom had never heard the gospel. They started remembering the Lord on September 14, 1952. On that first Sunday 18 broke bread, 10 of whom were from Three Rivers.  The following year, 1953, saw the arrival of Roland Lacombe, the first French-Canadian to be commended to full-time work in Quebec. Three years later, a school building was purchased, moved onto a piece of land and transformed into a Gospel Chapel with the help of Roy Buttery , recently arrived from Saskatchewan. Sometime prior to his moving on to the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region,  persecution resulted in Roy's spending a brief time in the local jail for having distributed Christian literature.  In 1959, Donald Cox with his wife, Beth, arrived to labour in collaboration with Roland Lacombe, the latter eventually departing for Sorel in 1966. He was followed by Joseph Doucet who came in the late 1960s from Detroit, Michigan, following his retirement. By 1973, all full time workers had moved on to other ministries, the Cox family to the Gaspésie and Mr. Doucet to Saint-Hyacinthe. Richard Strout along with his wife Virginia, serving the Lord at Bethel Bible Institute in Sherbrooke, gave a helping hand until the arrival of Wilfred Buchanan in 1975.     The assembly carried on for some fifty years, closing its doors in 2013.
