In a much-blessed month of gospel meetings in an old Schoolhouse in Millbrook, Nova Scotia, Canada, in the 1960’s, the Lord saved three brothers in one night. A few days later their mother and sister got saved.

How about some gospel meetings?” Readings: John 3:16, 16:7-8, Luke 19:9-10. (Testimony given in Canada on 4th Jan 2022)

Bob Stairs grew up in difficult circumstances in New Brunswick, Canada. No modern conveniences, and all the kids in the large family sleeping in one bed. His family broke up when he was a small boy, and he ended up in a “poor farm”, a home for children and adults in need. He was moved around quite a bit but, by the grace of God, one foster home in which he stayed was run by a couple who knew the Lord, so Bob heard the gospel for the first time. Listen to hear how Bob eventually came to the knowledge of salvation after hearing Frank Pearcey preach the gospel. Bob says he has gone from rags to riches, now that he has experienced the riches of God’s grace. Readings: Isa 52:7, Psa 32:1. (Testimony given in Canada 30th Jan 2021)

Just before David Flynn was born in 1962, his mother was saved (1957) and his father shortly after (1959). They were converted as a result of the labours of Herb Harris and George Campbell, who sailed on the “Missionary Gospel Messenger” boat around Newfoundland and preached the gospel in port after port. One day a man opposed to their efforts shot at the boat with a high-powered rifle and ruined the loud speaker that was broadcasting the gospel. David tells the story of the missionary boat, and relates his own conversion to Christ in 1969. Readings: Isaiah 53:5, Mark 8:36, 2 Tim 3:15 (Testimony given in Canada on 13th Oct 2020)

Neil Morton relates the fascinating story of his conversion to Christ while preparing to take a children’s meeting. Neil had a profession when he was younger, but had never actually been saved. Years of anxiety and trouble came to an end in early 1993 as he studied how he would explain Acts 4:12 to a group of children. God works in mysterious ways.

Steve Budd grew up in rural Eastern Canada. The gospel first impacted his family about 1930 when Isaac McMullan brought gospel meetings to one room School house in a country area just north of Moncton, New Brunswick, called “New Scotland”. Steve was a thoughtful, observant and serious-minded young child who, despite his tender age, experienced a real conversion to Christ in July 1960. (Testimony given in Canada in 8th Aug 2020).
