"Can U Hear Me Now?" Youth Conference
Removing Barriers So We Can Hear Him!
Shay was raised Christian but fell away from the faith as a teenager. As a young adult his pursuit of a worldly career in music, along with drugs and alcohol, pulled him further and further away from God until he hit an all time low in 2017 and turned to the Lord with a heart of repentance. God granted him victory over drugs and alcohol and called him to the gospel ministry. He received formal training at the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism in 2021. Since graduating he has preached at numerous churches throughout California and has conducted evangelistic seminars in the U.S. and Guatemala. He was also active in planting a church under the Southern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and serves there as a lay pastor. Having obtained his bachelor's and master’s degree in music, Shay now uses his education to glorify God. He writes, records, and performs original scripture songs as well as classic hymns. At the center of all that he does is the blessed Lord Jesus, His matchless love, and a desire to win souls for His glory. He cofounded The Bridegroom Cometh and currently serves as Speaker & President of our ministry.
Sonny grew up in a Christian environment but didn’t feel a true connection with God until his early adulthood. Once he started studying the Bible, he felt an instant urgency to share what he was learning with others. He received formal training at the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism and graduated in 2021. He has since planted a church in Southern California where he volunteers as a lay pastor. He has a passion for giving Bible studies, preaching, literature evangelism, and homeless outreach. He's had the privilege of holding evangelistic meetings in at least two countries, and hopes to travel to many more. His greatest desire is to glorify God in all aspects of life and win souls to Christ. He currently serves as Speaker & Vice President of Evangelism for our ministry.
Maboshe Makesa seeks to exemplify Christ and His righteousness as a minister of the gospel. Also, I desire to lead many souls to know Jesus intimately, understand the beauty of the everlasting gospel of the three angels’ messages, and as a result, reflect Jesus in every area of their life. I am also passionate to inspire others with the vision of evangelism and making soul-winning disciples through allowing Jesus to shine in their heart.
Mikey has been a truth seeker for as long as he can remember. He was raised up in church, but as a 12 year old began to have a lot of skeptical and tough questions that the church didn't give satisfying answers for. He began to search for truth in the occult, going down the road of witchcraft. When all other roads led to hopelessness, emptiness, and addiction, he decided to give God a true chance by reading the Bible for himself and his life was radically transformed. Since then God has led his path into ministry where he desires to give the answers to people's tough questions such as the ones he had.
