Speakers

Here's the Special Guest Speakers!
Anton Kapusi
Keynote Speaker
Anton started his ministry in a country that no longer exists (Yugoslavia). He began ministry as a youth pastor in 1990. Following the first two years, he served as an evangelist, church planter, and regional ADRA director. In 2000, he moved to Newbold College in the United Kingdom with his family to graduate from pastoral ministry. As he finished his studies (2003), the British Union Conference called him to work in the Irish Mission as a missionary. After almost four years of growing and multiplying the church, he was called by the leadership of the Greater New York Conference to New York City (2007). Despite the challenges of the urban setting, he revitalized and multiplied churches, empowered church leaders, and served as a conference director. He also built the first Passive House church building in North America. Following twelve years in New York, Anton received a call (2019) to revitalize the church in Pueblo, Colorado, which he successfully did that was followed by a call in 2023 to lead as a church Growth and Stewardship director in Kentucky-Tennessee Conference, where he continues to serve. Anton holds a  Doctor of Ministry in Church Growth and Multiplication and Master of Divinity degree from Andrews University, a Master's degree in Pastoral Ministry from Newbold College, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biblical Theology and Electrical Engineering. His multilingual skills lets him communicate in English, Hungaian, South-Slavic languages and German. His academic prowess is matched by his personal life, as he is married to Erika and has two adult children, Noemi and Thomas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about what this event is and why you should attend it. Here's some answers.

1. Why should I attend? My church is doing fine!

Your church is not doing fine unless you are now full and planting another church. Your church growing means more people are saved for the Kingdom of Christ! Eternity’s at stake for someone’s loved ones! We cannot afford to have business as usual if the Truth is to be proclaimed. We have been blessed with the Salvation of JESUS, Sabbath, the health message, financial blessings, Adventist education, etc. We cannot sit on this, we are compelled by Christ to impart this message to others!  

2. Is this for church leaders or everyone? Why?

This is for everyone who wants to see others embrace the Everlasting Gospel & experience life change. This meeting will inspire and equip us to move His churches forward in faith. Church renewal is influenced by personal spiritual renewal.

3. How formal is this, do I need church clothes for all events?

This weekend is NOT formal, it is relaxed casual.
