2008 Speakers & Performers
Richard Moore
In 1972, aged 10, Richard Moore, the founder of Children in Crossfire, was blinded by a rubber bullet fired at point blank range into his face. Amazingly, from childhood to the present day, he has never allowed bitterness to stunt his development. "I learned to see life in a different way," is how he describes his remarkable acceptance of what, for most, would be a debilitating trauma.
David Wells
David Wells' unique style of presenting the Gospel message through laughter & tears has made him an increasingly renowned speaker, highly sought after in England, USA, Canada and Europe. David characterizes himself as a husband, parent, storyteller, catechist and teacher.
Ann Widdecombe
Ann was born on 4th October 1947 in Bath, Somerset. The daughter of James Murray Widdecombe CB/OBE and Mrs. Rita Widdecombe. Her father's occupation was Head of Naval Supplies & Transport, Ministry of Defence. From 1987 she has been member of Parliament for Maidstone.

Youth and Children's Ministry
There will be a specially facilitated Teenager stream and a Children's stream run at the same time as the main conference all day Saturday. Both streams will be led from leading lights in Teenager and Children's ministry. The teenager stream will feature inputs from some of the main conference speakers. The Children's stream will also run on the Sunday morning.
Steve Murray
It all began when Steve was given a prophetic vision by a church leader. The vision was of Steve with his face all white. Soon after this vision Steve was shown a video of Todd Farley and as he watched, God so clearly spoke, telling him that this is what he must do. Only then the penny dropped because the mime on the video had a white face! From that day on all the doors opened for Steve and his ministry has grown from strength to strength.
Marino Restrepo
Due to circumstances beyond our control Marino Restrepo is unable to join us for the weekend.
