The Conversion Of John Newton
Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Oct 21, 2025 (message contributor)
Story: In the 18th Century, John Newton was the slave trader.
He swore and cursed. He sold slaves. He nearly lost his life in a storm and it was in that storm that he found God.
He renounced his evil ways and eventually became a vicar in the Anglican Church.
He helped William Wilberforce in outlawing slavery in the British Empire.
He was one of the leading men of the Evangelical Revival in England.
You may know him as the author of the famous hymn: "Amazing Grace".
No one is too bad for the Grace of God, if he repents.
