We believe in and stand with the local church in reaching young people.
We want to see young peoples lives changed by Jesus, and one of the ways we see this happen is by speaking at your church, youth event or festivals communicating about how Jesus is still transforming lives today. Our speakers are experts in their field, ready to inspire you and your audience. They are located across the UK and would love to come and support you in seeing God’s mission at work.
Below you will find information on some of our speakers who are available to speak at various events, including youth gatherings, church services, festivals, conferences, and training sessions.
