Under the main conference theme of the “Sound of Heaven” the two-day conference will feature sessions conducted by Director Christ for the Nations Institute; Youth for the Nations Chris Estrada from Dallas, Texas, Director Youth Alive Australia Cameron Bennett and Jackson  Moore from Shire Live Church Australia as the feature speakers.
