"Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison," Matthew 4:12

On the evening of Friday 20 March 2026, Rev. Ivan Foster sat down and shared his memories of the 1966 imprisonment of Foster, Dr. Ian Paisley, and Rev. John Wylie.

That event lit a fire across Ulster, and resulted in unprecedented growth in the Free Presbyterian Church, with many new churches founded out of that persecution.

The meeting was held at Moneyslane FPC. Rev. Daniel Henderson introduced Rev. Foster.
