In September of 1974, Brother Belisle got saved and shortly after that was baptized and joined an Independent Baptist Church in Hudson Falls.

He started James Belisle Missionary Evangelism in April of 1997 for the purpose of helping Missionaries and National pastors in their countries. Since that time he has been involved in starting churches, holding revivals and evangelistic meetings and teaching in Bible Colleges. Brother Belisle has taken over 45 trips to eighteen different countries, preaching hundreds of meetings, seeing 10 churches started and close to 9,000 souls saved.
