Speakers Pastor Ray McCauley is one of the most influential Christian leaders in South Africa and is well known across the globe. He pastors the Rhema Bible Church (SA), a multiracial congregation which grew from 13 people meeting in his parents’ living room, to a church exceeding 45 000 in membership. He has served as a spiritual leader to the South African cricket team, numerous political leaders and some of South Africa’s rich and famous. He is an excellent communicator with a vibrant and relevant message that will challenge men to action and to do greater things for God.

Abandoned by a violent father, Andrew Owen and his brothers were raised in a single parent home in a tough neighbourhood in South Wales. This life experience coupled with his unwavering faith in the ultimate role model, Jesus Christ, has served as a compelling motivator to see the truth and power of God’s word at work in men’s lives. Andrew is the founding pastor of Destiny Church in Glasgow and oversees 32 growing churches around the world. He is a powerful communicator of truth and has much to share at this year’s conference.
