PILGRIMS COVENANT CHURCH
Spring
Preaching Conference
O LORD, revive thy
work in the midst of the years,
in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
Pilgrims Covenant Church's Spring
Preaching Conference is free to all, but a free will offering will be
taken up. As with other years, we will have four speakers, book tables,
and plenty of time for fellowship, including over lunch. PCC will also
provide refreshments during the breaks between speakers. The
Trinitarian Bible Society will be offering a 25% conference discount on
all of their Bibles, booklets, literature, and other items. Our
guest speakers this year include:
Stephen
Holland
is the pastor of Westhoughton Evangelical Church, Westhoughton, England.
Rev. Holland was born and raised in South Wales. He is a former
construction worker who was converted to Christ as a young adult after
studying for a short period with the Jehovah's Witnesses. After his
conversion, Mr. Holland felt the call to ministry work and went to study
in Scotland at the Faith Mission Bible College, remaining with Faith
Mission for a time as an itinerant evangelist. He also later completed
four further years of part-time study at the London Reformed Baptist
Seminary. Pastor Holland is a firm believer in open-air preaching, tract
distribution, and "any other means to make the Gospel known to the
unsaved."
Alastair
Matthews
is a representative and speaker for the Trinitarian Bible Society-USA.
He is originally from Dunfermline, once the ancient capital of Scotland.
Mr. Matthews is also a chemistry teacher and is currently serving as
pastor for a Reformed Presbyterian Church General Assembly mission work
in Menasha, Wisconsin. In the past, he has done Christian mission work
in London, England. Mr. Matthews and his family moved to the United
States in 1994.
William
Greendyk
is a former missionary to Bolivia, where he founded a K-12 school. In
addition to being a certified teacher, Mr. Greendyk has studied
linguistics and has also earned a degree in Spanish grammar in Costa
Rica. Upon returning from Bolivia, he worked as a freelance translator
of Christian literature into Spanish, until being employed in 2005 by
the Trinitarian Bible Society to supervise the revision of the Society's
Spanish Bible. He is currently the general secretary of TBS's USA
branch, where he is still very involved in the Spanish Bible revision
project.
The Trinitarian
Bible Society,
including with well-documented and scholarly publications, promotes
Bible translations which are accurate and trustworthy, conforming to the
Hebrew Masoretic Text of the Old Testament and the Greek Textus Receptus
of the New Testament, upon which texts the English Authorized Version
(aka King James Version) is based. TBS also labors to produce and
distribute accurate translations, and revisions, of the Bible in other
languages. In 2007, the Trinitarian Bible Society distributed a total of
about 7 million Bibles and New Testaments in diverse languages,
including Arabic. TBS distributed another 3.5 million Scripture portions
or Scripture products (calendars, greeting cards, etc.). TBS translation
projects are being carried out (or were completed in 2007) in the
following languages, to name just a few: Armenian, Catalan, Farsi
(Iran), French (revision project), Maltese, Maori (New Zealand), Ndebele
(Zimbabwe), Amharic (Ethiopia), Gio (Liberia), Nepali, Pokot (Kenya),
Polish (revision project), Romanian (revision project), Spanish
(revision project), Thadou (northeast India), Chinese (revision
project), and Ukrainian. The web site address for TBS is www.trinitarianbiblesociety.org.
