Speakers:
1) Ross Tooley - Ross Tooley, a New Zealander has spent the last 44 years following his missionary call. He has evangelized, preached, discipled and trained Christians in many countries, especially in the large Asia and Pacific region. With his wife Margaret, he established the work of Youth with a Mission in the Philippines where they lived for 13 eventful years. He led School of Evangelism with outreaches to Asia.
Ross has a vast storehouse of wisdom and experience in the area of personal evangelism. He has witnessed and preached, and even door knocked in almost every country from India, South East Asia, islands of the South Pacific and up into the Far East. He still witnesses regularly today – something he has been doing now for 49 years! With his teaching skills, he is uniquely able to convey not only the inspiration to witness, but is able to give ways to start up conversations without causing unnecessary offence.
He has written three books: We Cannot But Tell (on personal evangelism – a book originally written in Singapore - now in six languages), Adventures in Naked Faith (about his nail-biting faith ventures including trusting God for the impossible) and Following Jesus (about his thrilling stories on the subject of Christian discipleship).
2) Anabel Lima – A Brazilian. Pioneer and current National Director of YWAM East Timor. 28 years as a missionary, 5 of which she lived in the Amazon jungle reaching the tribes. Anabel is passionate and committed to bring transformation into Timor-Leste.
3) Glenn Lim - A multi-award winner, Glenn has been recognized for his efforts in youth outreach through his many diverse music and creative platforms, working closely with many government and community agencies.
4) Ting Siew Lee – Siew Lee has been serving in Dili, Timor-Leste since July 2007. She and her missions partner Wong Lishan started the Cocoon ministry to serve children, youth and adults through creative English language teaching and other community outreach programmes. Through Cocoon, they dream of catalysing social and spiritual transformation in a young nation desperately needing God's love and righteousness.
Before stepping out into the nations, Siew Lee worked as a foreign news producer with ChannelNews Asia for six years. It was her stint in the newsroom that sparked her interest in East Timor’s dramatic struggle for nationhood. Unwilling to merely write and tell stories as an observer, she wants to live an an abundant life at the cutting edge of what God is doing in the nations, and help others embark on the same adventure.
5) Church of our Savior and Team – led by Paul Seow, Head of the Arts department in Church of our Savior, the team will be coaching the conference on relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit for divine appointments.
