Nearly 200 people gathered to celebrate the grace of God through the life of this man who dedicated it to evangelization and the training of Qu\u00e9bec workers. During the evening, Jacques spoke and preached about the importance of begging God to send workers into the harvest. One thing is clear, he still has Qu\u00e9bec missions at heart&#8230; So much so, that he asked people not to give him a gift. Instead, he asked them to financially support the mission of Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s student campuses. As a result, they raised $90,000 in one night.
