David Hutchinson grew up in a Christian family and knew the Scriptures from young age. When he reached the 6th form at School he felt drawn to the world…but God overruled David’s choice to neglect the gospel and brought him back to reality. At 16 he faced up to his need of salvation. Listen to hear how he found deliverance. (Testimony given in Bicester 29th Oct 2017)

Tim Cawte tells of his conversion one Canadian winter at the age of 13. Knowing he was a sinner who needed to be saved, his main problem was, “How can I ever know for sure that I am saved?” He made a number of attempts at being saved, but every time the doubts kept coming back as strong as ever. He was finally saved when he came to an end of himself and rested alone on the person and finished work of Christ for him (Recorded 17th August 2014)

Marcel Lasalle grew up in a devout Roman Catholic family in the 1950’s in Montreal, Canada. The Mass, the rosary, confession; Marcel did it all. But he had no peace. Eventually he settled down into an ungodly life of nominal adherence to religion on the one hand, but the pleasures of sin on the other. Then God intervened in his life to bring the light of the gospel to him, and he discovered, in January 1978, that the work of Christ on the cross had taken care of his problem of sin.

The fascinating story of how a Christian woman in an office refused to tell a lie for her boss, and how God used that incident to speak to her colleague, a Mr. Jim Walmsley (1931-2022). That same lady afterwards asked Jim to come to a gospel meeting. God spoke to the 16-year-old Jim, and he found salvation on 16th May 1947 under the preaching of Harold Paisley. Mr Walmsley was baptised and then received into the Cregagh Street assembly, Belfast, in September 1947.

In 1960 Mr Jim Walmsley and his wife Sally (Duff) were commended to the work of the Lord in the land of Venezuela, where they served the Lord faithfully. Mr Walmsley was widowed three times during his long years of tireless service. Sally passed away in 1970; Sadie McIlwaine (married, 1971) passed away in 1994, and Ruth Saword Turkington (married, 2002) passed away in 2016.

On this recording, Mr Walmsley gave his personal testimony in Lurgan Gospel Hall, Northern Ireland, in 1980. He started by reading Romans 10:13.
