Gospel Herald History - Seventy Four Years of Service
The Gospel Herald has been dedicated for some 74 years to
encouraging a more Biblical Christianity than is generally
seen. Over the years there have been many who have reacted
to the divisions, competitions and lack of love in the religious
sphere by promoting what they perceived as a more Biblical
church. In Canada, the frontier environment resulted in the
formation of many scattered and independent congregations.
Previous publications intent on encouraging and strengthening
isolated Christians and these small groups did not survive
the great depression.
To fill this gap, the Gospel Herald, a small monthly magazine
was begun in March of 1936 in a home in rural Saskatchewan.
The stated purpose was "To promote New Testament Christianity".
It contained teaching materials written by preachers and Christians
and shared news of happenings and progress from across the
country. A directory of churches was included to enable communication
and to assist travelers who wished to worship and share with
those of "like precious faith".
Over the years there have been changes in editors and locations
of publication but issues, faithful to the original purpose,
have been mailed out on a regular basis. Production and mailing
costs have been covered by subscription and advertising income
and the sacrificial donations of time, effort and sometimes
money by those producing it.
The Gospel Herald Foundation
was registered as a charitable organization in 1971 and since
that time the Bookstore has been a "not for profit"
operation owned and overseen by the Foundation. Also, valid
donation receipts can be provided to those wishing to donate
to the furtherance of this cause. Except for the cost of printing,
mailing and operating the store the work is done by volunteers.
The Gospel Herald's services are presently provided from
Beamsville, Ontario. As the need to return to Biblical life
and practice continues the Foundation pledges, with God's
help, to continue in this work. |
