Gospel artist in Warragul

Touring gospel artist Doug Macfarlane will visit Warragul on Sunday.

Doug Macfarlane is one of Australia’s most travelled and endearing gospel artists and Christian communicators.

Macfarlane will visit for a 10am service and 6pm outreach service at an event hosted by Warragul Church of Christ.

In 1989, Doug took the step of faith into “fulltime” Evangelistic Ministry. This coincided with the release of his debut album “Innocence”. In more than 16 years of ministry, he has performed in more than 2000 churches across Australia.

Doug’s reputation as a speaker has increased to make him one of Australia’s foremost evangelists and communicators. He is in great demand for combined outreach rallies, crusades and evangelistic Church services.

In 2015, Macfarlane released “Renewed Hope – A Celebration of the first 25 Years”, marking 25 years since the release of his first album in 1989. It is a unique compilation of 14 songs (digitally remastered) from his first four popular albums.

“I’m excited about this new celebration album, it’s a great way for anyone who hasn’t heard my music or message to be introduced in a complete way,” Macfarlane said.

“Already we’re getting enthusiastic responses from long term supporters to brand new friends as they get their copies and listen.”

Macfarlane has shared the stage with recognised communicators such as Winkie Pratney, Loren Cunningham (founder of Youth with A Mission), John Smith (founder of God’s Squad) and international evangelist Bill Newman.

“One of my hopes in visiting the Warragul region is to present a simple message of hope,” Macfarlane said.

“Hope to be found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

“Music has always been a powerful tool to communicate and connect with people.

“This will be an event for all ages, and we’re hoping to see as many locals attend of all backgrounds and ages.”

Macfarlane will be performing at Warragul Church of Christ at 155 Bowen St. For more information, call Kevin Hughes on 5623 4073.
