Former terrorist in Northern Ireland to speak on forgiveness and reconciliation

Posted Nov 8, 2012 By EMC News

EMC Events - Wall Street United Church is pleased to announce that Pastor John McGregor will be speaking in Brockville on Nov. 24 and 25, 2012.

John will share his amazing journey that has taken him from being a teenage "terrorist" in Northern Ireland to an international speaker on forgiveness and reconciliation.

Rev. John McGregor has a world-wide preaching schedule and enjoys travelling to the four corners of the earth in order to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. John has worked closely with Billy Graham Ministries, Canadian Revival Fellowship, and has been serving as the full-time Lead Pastor of Glencairn Alliance Church in Regina since 2009.

John has a powerful personal testimony that exemplifies the amazing grace, forgiveness and transformation that God can bring to a willing heart.

Born and raised in Northern Ireland during the sectarian troubles there, John became a member of the Protestant paramilitary terrorist organization, the Ulster Defence Association. John's story of moving from the gun, to the cross, to the pulpit will take you to the very centre of God's love, grace, forgiveness and transforming ability. God now uses this former terrorist to bring hope and healing to a hurting world. You will be blessed by John's ministry!
