Meet the Missionary: Trevor Slattery – Ireland

About this sermon

Meet Trevor Slattery, a pastor in Thurles, Ireland. He shares of his conversion: “I was overcome by the weight of my own sin. I remember the drive home [from church] being terrified that the car would crash and I'd never get to go into my room and lock my door. But thankfully, in the grace of God, the car did not crash. I got home, fell to my knees knowing I was filthy, vile, and wretched, and deserved hell. But when I got up off my knees, I knew something miraculous had happened that God had wiped me clean, forgiven me, and given me new life in Christ. And the fruit of that was evident very quickly. I used to have a terrible temper. All those rumors about the fighting Irish are very true. If I saw the guy in the mirror giving me a dirty look, I'd try to fight him. But very shortly after that, all that anger and wrath was gone, and I just felt this new spirit within me that wanted the good for others and not to hurt them. So, very obviously, God had done a work in my life. 2 Corinthians 5:17, 'If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.' And I knew that and felt that and have in the grace of God lived that since."
