Norman Mellish, although born into an ungodly home, attended Sunday School. However, as a young boy, he forsook the right way of the Lord. It was not until he was 15 years old, when God confronted him with the thoughts of eternity, that he returned to the Gospel Hall, heard the gospel of the grace of God, and trusted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour. As a young man the Lord exercised him to preach the gospel. As a result he started gospel tent meetings in the city, and the Lord led him into full time ministry. In 1968 he was commended by the Wythenshawe Assembly. He has been to the British Isles, North America, Brazil, Australia, and various parts of Europe to preach the gospel and minister the truth of God to those who love God's name.
