Convention Seminars

Derek MaxwellMONDAY

SLAVIC GOSPEL ASSOCIATION
Derek, General Director of Slavic Gospel Association UK, upholds the mission’s Biblical ethos and vision to reach Slavic nations with the Gospel. He preaches and lectures across Eastern Europe and Central Asia while conducting deputation work throughout the British Isles.

Nigel KennyTUESDAY

THE CHRISTIAN INSTITUTE
We’ve been used to the Christian Institute bringing us an update at the Convention for some years now and 2025 will be no different. Scotland Officer Nigel Kenny and his colleagues from Newcastle will be bringing us the latest on plans to introduce assisted suicide into law in both Holyrood and Westminster. They will also bring some encouraging news about the proposed conversion therapy ban and will have something to share about an exciting and important resource for street preachers.

Andrew MaybinWEDNESDAY

THE FAITH MISSION GOSPEL TRUCK
Andrew is married to Carolyn and with their two daughters they are currently serving the Lord through the work of the Faith Mission Gospel Truck. Andrew and Carolyn were both involved in a family business until 2018 when the Lord spoke in a very clear way, ‘follow me’ was the call into what has become known across Ireland as the ‘Gospel Truck’. After two years of theological study at the Faith Mission Bible College in Edinburgh, their heart is to reach the unreached, bringing the good news of Jesus Christ into the brokenness of the world. Their work is varied, from county shows and fairs to Bible clubs and family fun days, but the objective always the same – to listen, to love and to engage with who- ever they meet. The ministry tag line is ‘on a mission to deliver’ John 14:6

Carolyn HarrisonTHURSDAY

THE EYE OF THE STORM
Carolyn and her husband William have been serving the Lord with the Faith Mission since the mid 80’s and are currently working in the North West Irish District. God blessed them with two children, Emma and Kyle. Kyle was profoundly disabled from birth and at the age of 18 went home to be with the Lord. Carolyn shares how God teaches us, through life’s inevitable storms, to trust Him, take refuge, keep focused, stay calm and find peace “In the Eye of the Storm”.
