VBS MISSION OF THE WEEK QUEBEC’S CHILDREN! The Missionaries: David and Kristy Kelly have four children and serve at the Sherbrooke campus of Word of Life (Parole de Vie) Bible Institute in French-speaking Quebec. Quebec is known as the “largest unreached

people group in North America”! They teach Bible classes as well as French to those desiring to serve in the mission field.
