 Friends from Fraserburgh, North East Scotland, will be taking
part in a special service of Praise and Testimony in Dunmurry
Free Presbyterian Church on Sunday 25th February at 7.00pm.
David and Helen Runcie, who will minister in song, will be
joining by Anita McDonald and Esmae Watt, also from Scotland.
The Runcies have been long time friends of the Rev Dr Fred
Greenfield, the newly installed minister of Dunmurry. Dr
Greenfield, who has taken many gospel missions and evenings of
praise in the Runcie's home church of Bethesda Free Evangelical
Church, Fraserburgh, extends a hearty invitation to all to join
with them in Dunmurry for this service.
Author Noel Davidson writes concerning the Runcies: 'They looked
like the typical happy family. David and Helen Runcie had
brought up their three sons to fear the Lord and honour His
name. When they sang together as a quintet audiences were moved
to tears. In their teenage years though the boys, who had all
become fishermen, became heroin addicts. It was then that the
whole atmosphere in the home changed and the tell tale signs of
drug addiction began to appear around the house. Matthew was
apprehended by the police; David, lost his job and his home; and
Jonathan was rescued from a foundering fishing boat. Every day
seemed to present the perplexed Christian parents with some new
dilemma. Why was this happening in their family they found
themselves asking' Why did God not appear to answer the prayers
He had heard about these boys' Could He not deliver them from
addiction' Yes, He could, and He did, intervening in each life
in a different way, but with same result. Each one of these
young men attended Teen Challenge a Christian rehab
organisation, and that is when the story becomes even more
miraculous. Theirs is an inspirational story of deliverance and
of hope'.
The Rev Dr Fred Greenfield says, 'Come and hear this amazing
story from the parent's perspective at this special service of
Praise and Testimony in Dunmurry Free Presbyterian Church on
Sunday 25th February - everyone will be made most welcome'.
