SUMMARY:Annual Family Conference 2027
DESCRIPTION:In seeking Revival together we are excited to see what the Lord has to grow our understanding in the area of Revival and what it means to be revived so that we can find JOY! \nWe are excited to have the following in-person speakers lined up for our conference: \nRev. Dr. Edward Woods: \nTed Woods is one of Australia’s preeminent Old Testament Scholars.

Ted was then involved in the pastoral ministry in NSW and missionary service in Zambia (with the Australian Baptist Missionary Society (ABMS)\, principally as a lecturer in Old Testament at the Theological College of Central Africa. \nIn March 1990\, Ted received his doctorate in Biblical Studies from the University of South Africa. In his busy schedule he finds time for sporting interests\, reading\, commentary writing\, and preaching. He is currently writing a commentary on Deuteronomy for the Tyndale Old Testament commentary series. Ted is also a moderator for the Australian College of Theology in Old Testament. \n \nRay Ewart: \nRay Ewart is a member of Mooroolbark Baptist Church in Victoria\, Australia where he served as an elder. In secular employment he was a project manager but has been retired for more than 30 years. He and his wife\, Joan have four children (all married)\, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Whilst not having any formal theological training he has had a pastoral role in several churches\, and some of his books and records of his activities are on his web page (www.rayewart.com). \nFollowing a few preaching trips to The Philippines he set up a support group for small Bible-based churches he had visited. Whilst now in his 90’s he is still\, by the grace of God\, involved in ministry. \n\n\n\n\nPastor Michael Drennan: \nCurrently living on the IBLP Centre and serving in our ministries\, Pastor Michael is also busy working as a pastor to a local church and serving as Youth Consultant at Camberwell Chinese Methodist Church.  Many who have attended past events at IBLP will have already been blessed by Michael’s down-to-earth teaching style that really helps make Biblical concepts easy to understand and practical to apply to life. \nMichael is also a wonderful chef and we are certainly appreciative of his flavoursome meals. Wednesday night’s fellowship dinner is a great highlight of the conference. \n  \nWe are also looking forward to some amazing speakers over Zoom: \n \nCaleb Reed: \nCaleb was born and raised in Maine as one of eight children.
