TERRY BAXTER
Terry and Debby Baxter have over 20 years of pastoral experience with Church planting and Church renewals. Throughout their years in ministry they have spent time ministering at Churches, Bible Camps, Conferences, Crusades, Sportsman’s Retreats, Marriage Retreats, in Prisons, and a number of other areas always bringing Bible-centered and gospel-focused messages to meet the needs of those they minister to.
JAY SEEGERT
Over the past 29 years, Jay has spoken in numerous churches, conferences, secular schools, Christian schools, universities and various other venues, with audiences ranging from 50 to over 5,000. Although his initial apologetics talks covered almost all aspects of the defense for the Christian faith, he is currently focusing on the authority and inspiration of Scripture. Since the Bible arguably gets attacked more for its creation account than any other area, he covers that extensively, but the overall picture is always the authority of God’s Word. Jay has authored several books on the creation controversy and is currently serving as the Managing Director for the Creation Education Center. His full bio can be found at www.cecwisc.org.
BARRY RUDESILL
Barry Rudesill has served on staff at Crescent Lake Bible Camp and as the Youth Pastor at Hidden Valley Community Church in Dodgeville, WI. He uses his 20+ years of working with teens in Christian Camping to help youth draw real-life applications from the Scriptures. With humor, a few tricks up his sleeve and an interactive presentation style, Barry inspires others to see themselves as God sees them. Barry enjoys playing outdoors doing activities like rock-climbing and hiking, while spending time with his family.
