Shawn Harper
Keynote Presenter

Shawn Harper ... a former NFL player, a successful businessman, a loving husband and father is  and motivational speaker on the move for the kingdom of God, changing lives and minds for the better wherever he goes! 

Shawn was on top of the world, enjoying all the fruits of his labor - the fame, the fortune and the prestige that comes with being a professional NFL player - until his foundation crumbled under him due to a major injury. At this lowest point of his life all he could do was turn to God. Shawn asked Jesus into his life and he hasn't been the same since!

Shawn considers himself an investor for the Lord as he travels, pouring his life and his resources into the most valuable investment of all - God's children.

Jeff & Debby McElroy
Emcee

As popular speakers, teachers, and worship leaders for Fall Festivals of Marriage since 1991 and featured teachers for the Couples Ministry of Willow Creek Community Church, Jeff and Debby McElroy have become the most sought-after couple in the country in the area of marriage and family enrichment.  As founders of the non-profit organization Forever Families, Inc., they are committed to equipping the local church and community in the fight to defend the institutions of marriage and family.

Jeff and Debby have a unique style of presenting real tools for real life, in a really funny way.  Combine the antics of “Tool Time,”  the poignancy of a Hallmark commercial, and the hard-hitting challenges of a Vince Lombardi, and you’ve got an idea of what you’d find from them.
