Speaker - October 8-9 ~ Ricky Spindler

Ricky grew up on a farm in southern Indiana. Forced to overcome a lot at a young age, Ricky beat the odds and gave his life to Christ at fourteen. At fifteen he was called into full-time ministry.

He attended North Central University, where he received a B.A. in Pastoral Studies. It was during college that he really began traveling and speaking. In fact, his favorite college experience was traveling as an evangelist for a summer. Since that time, he has traveled around the country speaking to youth about the importance of developing a relationship with Christ and the difference it has made in his own life.

Ricky lives in Urbana, IL and is currently the student ministries pastor at Stone Creek Church. His passion is to see the lives of young people truly changed and to raise up leaders that will set the tone for the next generation.

Speaker - October 22-23 ~ John Brumfiel

John is the pastor of Dixon General Baptist Church in Dixon, Kentucky.
