Showcase Speakers Include:
Cheryl Ladd
Cheryl will be speaking on “Answered Prayers.” Many will remember Cheryl as one of “Charlie’s Angels.”In CMCA, she’s known as the actress who played Ian McCormack’s mother in the faith-based Film ‘The Perfect Wave.’
Marie Monville
“When all other lights go out, He still shines!” This became the anthem to Marie's life when on October 2, 2006, her then husband made a decision to hold an Amish school house hostage, forever changing life as she knew it.
Hattie Kauffman
Long time network news correspondent Hattie Kauffman is the author of "Falling Into Place," described as the "Glass Castle of Christian memoirs." It is the griping story of a Native American woman who thought she'd left her childhood ghosts behind until she is forced to face all that she's been running from and to finally rely on God.
Ian McCormack
Ian was a featured speaker at our 2013 show in Vail. Several attendees asked if he could return, so has agreed to!
Ian was born in New Zealand and traveled the world surfing. He was stung by 5 box jellyfish in 1982 while night diving for lobster. He died and saw hell and then the Lord in His glorified form (Rev. 1:13 – 8) The Lord allowed him to come back after being dead for 15 – 20 minutes. He awoke in the morgue and walked out of the hospital the next day.
He has been sharing his testimony in over 60 nations the past 30 years.

Wes’ first book, "Bond of Brothers: Connecting with Other Men Beyond Work, Weather and Sports" (Zondervan), seeks to move men from silent and broken lives to the company of men where conversation, spiritual friendship and a life filled with friends and brothers define and complete God’s purposes for them.
