Renowned conference speaker, and former Tearfund board member, Andy Hickford will consider how consumerism shapes our faith and attitudes towards poverty as he unpacks our theme of ‘Be the change’ .

And seminar leaders from Northern Ireland, England and Ethiopia will encourage delegates to think about the actions we can take in our everyday lives to bring change locally and globally.  Seminars will be led by NI Evangelical Alliance Director Peter Lynas, Simon Haile from the Kale Heywet Church in Ethiopia, Priscilla Reid from Christian Fellowship Church, local financial adviser Joe Carey, and Carla Harding from the 24/7 Prayer network.

‘Last year, nearly 200 people came along to the first Re:Ignite conference, and we know many went away with renewed determination to have an impact on poverty’ says Northern Ireland Tearfund Director Tim Magowan . ‘This year, we hope you’ll be inspired further to be the change locally and globally.
