Ivan Foster retired from the pastorate in November 2008. He has laboured chiefly in Fermanagh and Tyrone as an Evangelist and Pastor since 1967. Under his ministry, souls have been saved and new churches founded. Mr. Foster, a former member of Omagh District Council and the Northern Ireland Assembly, believes it is essential for Christians to actively strive for the preservation of civil and religious liberty. Such striving must be done in the knowledge that only by national repentance and a return to God and Biblical Protestantism can Ulster be saved.
