American Radio Pastor Preaching in Ballymena
Every Lord’s day morning at 8:30 a.m., the Reformed Witness Hour is broadcast on Radio North/Gospel 846 AM or MW into many parts of Ulster. Usually the voice of the radio pastor is that of Rev. Bill Bruinsma from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Besides his radio ministry, in the past year Pastor Bruinsma has been travelling to speak in various churches in Canada and America. Now he is coming to County Antrim with his wife, Mary.
A former missionary to Jamaica, Rev. Bruinsma will be preaching for the Covenant Protestant Reformed Church (CPRC) in Ballymena on Sundays 13, 20 and 27 October, at both the 11 a.m. and the 6 p.m. services.
All are very welcome to attend these meetings in the CPRC at 83 Clarence Street, Ballymena, and they can also be watched live (or later) on-line at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. (www.cprc.co.uk/live-streaming).
A family man with 29 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren, Pastor Bruinsma will also lead Bible studies in the CPRC on two Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. The first is on man’s unique creation (16 October) and the second treats how the fall affected man’s creation (23 October). All are warmly welcome.
