[edit] History
Roland Lacombe served the Lord in Quebec beginning in 1952. He had come to the Lord in 1948 at the assembly in Cap-de-la-Madeleine. Three years later, he started in the ministry that God had reserved for him in the small town of La Tuque, about 100 miles north of Cap-de-la-Madeleine. There he distributed New Testaments. The transition from Scripture distribution to an assembly of believers was an arduous one. Preachingthe Gospel in French was opposed by police,
magistrates, and religious leaders in attempts to stifle the Gospel. In spite of opposition, a brethren assembly was founded. Paul Boèda also helped in the ministry. Today the Christians at the Assemblée chrétienne de La Tuque, QC have their own chapel, built in 1961, and carry on a good work.
