Ministry in Cultural Communities

Our Work
Last Updated on Wednesday, 04 May 2011 20:04

Purpose:


To demonstrate the Good News in word and deed by ministries of compassion to ethnic groups in the Quebec urban context and to mobilize Christians and churches for this ministry.
 
Language Learning

To help new immigrants who face the double challenge of learning French and English in Quebec, Richard Platt directs teams of volunteers who offer language courses in a welcoming “home away from home” Christian atmosphere. If you are an immigrant in the Montreal area and would like to improve your English or French, or if you would be interested in helping as a volunteer, contact Richard Platt at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Want to explore the Christian Faith? Learn English or French as you discover the God of Jesus Christ by studying the Bible in a small group setting. Key words and expressions in the Bible are explained carefully for those new to the faith, new to Canada.

Canadian Cultural Activities

To experience québécois culture - in the city or to admire God’s handiwork in the beautiful natural settings of Québec - Richard and Haruyo Platt are hosts for several activities and outings each year for new immigrants to Quebec. From skiing in winter to festivals and camps in summer, they help new friends, especially from Asian countries, to get a taste of the strong flavours of Quebec heritage and culture.
