Tom Bentley and Bob Neill – Reminiscences (52 min)

Tom Bentley (L) and Bob Neill (R)

After labouring faithfully for the Lord in Africa for 50 years, Mr Bob Neill (1920-2006) was invited to a meeting in Northern Ireland (Mr Neill’s homeland) to speak about his 5 decades of missionary service. Before Mr Neill spoke, one of his close friends, another missionary called Tom Bentley (1924-2011) – who served the Lord for over 50 years in Malaysia – stood to his feet and reminisced about “the early days” both men had enjoyed in Ebenezer Gospel Hall in Belfast, when as young lads they had learned the ropes and worked together in “open air meetings” and other avenues of service for God. Mr Neill then gave a fascinating and heart-warming report of pioneer gospel work, of assembly planting and of decades of Bible teaching carried out in Zambia and South Africa, in response to the call of God to which he and his wife Esme had responded many years earlier. An enlightening and challenging pair of messages.
