Kim Zember

Welcome by Brad Pierron. Keynote Theme: In Him - Holiness

Kim Zember, Overcome Ministries, believes that turning her life inside out for all to see shows how the Lord has and continues to set the captives free! She feels deeply that authenticity with one another in God’s love and truth is so needed today more than ever. When Kim is not in the States, she is most likely found in Ethiopia surrounded by her 100+ children through the non-profit, Unforgotten Faces, she started when she was 23 years old. You can read about Kim’s story in her book, Restless Heart.

Noah Gilchrist

Breakout Session - Prayer: How to pray; Combat a “Doing” Society; Humility.

Noah was born in Columbus, Ohio and went to Catholic schools K-12. In his junior year, Noah encountered Christ and His Church in a powerful way at the March for Life in 2014 and has never turned back. Since 2014, Noah has spoken to thousands of youth through serving with NET Ministries for one year and now Damascus for five years. Noah’s greatest passions are to see the Church make prayer her number one priority and for cities to be transformed by Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit!
