The spiritual awakening which rendered the year 1859 forever famous in the annals of Ulster, also furnishes one of the most remarkable illustrations in all history, of Christianity suddenly and potently revived and exercising a transforming influence, swift in its action and wide in its sphere, upon all classes of society. Who were the people among whom this astonishing movement broke out? Coming of Scottish and English extraction, the Protestant communities of Ulster represent a colony founded with infinite industry and skill, which has stood through centuries in enlightening contrast to the blighting conditions which obtain in other parts of Ireland under the domination of the priest. The history of Ulster is of a people not only distinguished by industrial ability and commercial integrity, but possessing strong religious proclivities, and contending earnestly in defense of Christian beliefs and Christian liberty.

What’s your story?
David Gourley at Towerview Church Bangor
It was a privilege and great joy for my family and I to be invited by the Reverend Kathie & Dr Ivan Filby to spend a morning with the family of God who meet at Towerview Church Bangor.
Having the opportunity to share God’s heart and great desire for his children to share their stories of conversion and ongoing stories their lives lived in fellowship with him, our Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ was a wonderful blessing.
If you would like to invite me to come to your own church/fellowship/small group or even personally to share the burden and message that the Lord has given me to encourage the family of God with please get in touch. I’d love to hear your story too.
May the Lord bless us all.
