Jock Troup

John (Jock) Troup (1896-1954) was a well known Christian evangelist fro Fochabers, Scotland. He was the son of Harry and Harriet Troup.

He spent his youth as a cooper and was part of the Territorial Forces Service.

He went to work in the fishing industry and then on to service in WWI. He was then converted.

According to a neighbour he had enormous hands - he could pick up a fully inflated football with one hand. He had 16 inch biceps, unexpanded and the neck like a prize bull. He did not look like a typical normal preacher.

Jock played a big part in the Fisherman’s Revival, also known as Jock Troup and the fisherman’s Revival. He preached all over Britain to bring people to Christ.
