David Craig (1902-1977), affectionately known as “Scotch Davey”, was born and raised in Scotland. Saved in Baillieston near Glasgow as a 12 year old boy, Mr Craig began to preach at the age of 16. 10 years or so later in 1929 Mr Craig went out full time in the Lord’s work, and became a mighty evangelist and Bible teacher. Here in this powerful message given in 1971, Mr Craig speaks of a day when men will call on the rocks to hide them from “the wrath of the Lamb”, unless now, while they are able, men flee to Christ as their hiding place from coming judgment. Readings: Rev 6:12-17, Isa 32:1-2.

Robert Love (1885-1979) was saved at the age of 19 in 1904. This is a recording of Mr Love telling the story of his conversion after 60 years had passed. 10 years after being saved, Mr Love went out full time in gospel work. Robert Love was a character, unique in his delivery and original in his style, and known for his plain speaking. A tireless labourer, Mr Love was used of the Lord to see a work done in the salvation of many souls. Reading: Acts 4:10-12 (Recorded in Northern Ireland)

Norman Coulter (1941-2012) tells how God saved him in February 1962. Brought up in a godly home, Norman chose to seek out the pleasures of the world and broke his parents’ hearts. However, God convicted Norman of his sin and he was saved in Omagh one night during a move of the Holy Spirit in the town. In 1994, after 30 or so years as an architect, Norman left his business and gave all his time to preach the gospel. He was a diligent and hard worker, knocking on many thousands of doors, taking a particular interest in neglected rural areas of the north of Ireland, as well as the Scottish islands of Lewis, Harris, North Uist, and the Orkney and Shetland islands.

Leonard Mullan (1918-2004)  was born the year WW1 ended, and the Spanish Flu pandemic began. He grew up in “Carnlough by the sea”, from whence he would eventually go to Japan to serve the Lord. He was saved in meetings held in his parents’ home, taken by Messrs Joseph Stewart and David Craig. This is a recording made when Mr Mullan was 85 years old, saved for 73 years. The record of his and his wife Agnes’s 37 years in Japan are told in Mr Mullan’s autobiography The God of My Life. Mr Mullan wrote a poem reflecting on the challenge of leaving Carnlough to serve the Lord in the Far East:

Japan or Carnlough! Oh which shall it be!

Before giving his testimony Mr Mullan read: Heb 2:9 4:12-13, 7:25, 9:27, 10:12, 12:29, 13:20-21 (Recorded in Glengormley, Northern Ireland)

In September 1981, David Morgan, and evangelist who has served the Lord in the country of Wales for many years, rose to his feet at the Larne conference and gave a report of gospel work in Pembrokeshire (West Wales). Going from village to village and from town to town, preaching and putting up tents, the work can sometimes be hard and lonely. At the end of his report he told a touching and memorable lifeboat story that no one present could easily forget. The story is a challenge to our interest and willingness to sacrifice and labour in the work of the gospel, and to leave the results with God.

Matthew McKillen (1936-2018) was saved on 30th Aug 1947 as a boy of 10. In this heart-warming testimony he tells how both his mother and father were saved and reveals the fascinating background to his own privileged upbringing in a godly home. Matthew and his wife Margaret were associated for many years with the Gospel Hall in Cambridge Avenue, Ballymena (formerly Wellington Street). Though a busy businessman, Matthew devoted his life to the local assembly, to the visitation of the sick and to the preaching of the gospel. He was a fast talking preacher…so you’ll have to listen carefully to catch it all! Reading: Rom 10:8-10, 17 (Testimony given in Windsor Gospel Hall, Belfast, 2007)

Hear the voice of a preacher who was born in 1873! Thomas Campbell (1873-1964) first heard the gospel in Dublin while training to be a Policeman. Soon after, he was saved – on 14th April 1899 – through Isaiah 53:5. Later, when he saw the truth of gathering to the Lord’s name, he came into fellowship with the assembly meeting in the Gospel Hall in Letterkenny. He served the Lord for many years as an evangelist and saw many hundreds saved, and assemblies formed in Lungs, Sion Mills and other towns. Among others, Harold Paisley was greatly influenced by Mr Campbell. Speaking in Larne in 1983, Mr Paisley told of the time he stood with Mr Campbell (then age 91) in a graveyard in Macosquin. Looking at the graves of Mr Campbell’s parents, and his 5 brothers and their 5 wives, the aged evangelist said, “Harold, I pointed them all to Christ before I ever stood on a gospel platform.” In this recording, Mr Campbell brings comfort and hope for the Christian from the anticipation of heaven.
