His desire is to help people come into a deeper walk with the Lord; to develop an intimacy with the Holy Spirit; train, mentor and equip people; to help people increase in their faith, be built up in the Word of God, and believe for breakthroughs and victory in all areas of their lives.

Ps Kem received Jesus in a Tent Crusade in Hawera in 1962 where Frank Houston was the evangelist. A father in the faith, Kem has pastored churches all over New Zealand. Missions is also one of his huge passions. Kem has a wealth of experience to draw from, and his excitement for Jesus will stir you up. He runs every second day to keep fit, or maybe it is to reinforce his belief that you are as young as you want to be. It's a great honour to have him with us at YOTN VII."

Dave Wiggins is NZ's only pastor/comedian... seriously. If you ask him to describe what he does he might tell you that he tells jokes at pubs on Saturday night and talks about Jesus at church on Sunday morning.

Dave performs his trademark clean energetic observational comedy all over NZ and overseas at numerous events, fundrasiers, clubs, conferences, churches and festivals. As well as that Dave works for Massey Community Church in West Auckland as a pastor where he leads the Sunday Morning Worship Gathering.

"First Glimpse" is a snapshot of Eshalon's early stages, as they were finding themselves as a band. It showcases the band's ability to produce both a hard-hitting alternative pop rock, as well as a funky acoustic sound.

This Hamilton-based group will light up the stage on Saturday night!
