document.write(' Rev. John Wylie was placed in the Coleraine Free Presbyterian Church congregation as interim moderator in February 1957 and was subsequently installed as minister on Friday 4th September 1964, his last service being on Sunday 15th August 1971.<p> John Wylie was a true Protestant pioneer for the work of Christ in Northern Ireland. He was born in 1913 to a religious, but not Christian, family. Saved at age 19, he felt the call to preach a short time later. In 1952, he entered the work of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster and was mightily used of God in the formation of that denomination. John Wylie was a fearless preacher. Once while street preaching he was severely beaten and received a broken nose, barely escaping with his life. Yet he returned later to the same spot to preach again. Mr. Wylie stood strong for religious freedoms throughout his country. And in 1966 was arrested, along with Dr. Paisley, when he refused to be silent about the ecumenical compromise in Ulster.
