The programmes will be presented from a Christian perspective, with many well-known people from the district and beyond taking part, including, for example, Howard Beverland, who will be playing for Coleraine in the Irish Cup Final, and Joel Taggart, the commentator for that game, both on the subject of Christians in sport. Jonathan Gault, a local businessman, will talk about his involvement in a project in Uganda, where the 20th new school will soon be opened.

Church members will relate their own personal, and sometimes painful experiences in “My Story”, while “Radio Active Kids” will run 3 programmes where young listeners can ’phone in answers to quiz questions. For those unable to attend church on Sunday, the services from the church will be broadcast live at 11.30 a.m. and 7.30 p.m. Andy Dalrymple will speak on a “Criminal sentenced to heaven” in the morning, and “So near and yet so far” in the evening.

You can travel as far away as Papua New Guinea with Valerie Mc Fall, who will provide an up-date on her daughter Sarah’s travels on the “Doulos” ship for “Operation Mobilisation”.

Alternatively you can listen in to Ivor Wallace as he provides an unusual insight into the experience of a prisoner; or to Andy Dalrymple, the church pastor, in an interview with Dr. Paul Garner on the ever-topical and intellectually-demanding subject of evolution; while Paul McFarland, an undergraduate student, will seek to identify the “real St. Patrick”.

‘Life for You’ is now in its fourth year and has generated increased interest each year, from both regular and new listeners. A telephone line (028 27666452) will be available for comment on the programmes or to make requests, and access is also available on-line at www.ballymoneybaptistchurch.org.
