Ebenezer W Rogers was born in 1893. He was known to his generation, and still remembered by many as a gifted preacher and Bible expositor. He worked for thirty years in the city of London and rose to become head of The Patent Office. As work duties permitted during this time, he was active throughout the British Isles, teaching the Word of God. Mervyn Wishart resides with his wife Margaret in Newcastle, Co. Down. He has been an elder in Shimna Gospel Hall for many years. His working life was spent in the construction industry. Since 2004 Mervyn has made annual visits to India for gospel preaching and Bible teaching. He contributes regularly to an assembly monthly magazine in India, 'Vineyard Echoes'. His Bible teaching ministry has also taken him to Singapore, South Korea and Australia.
