Speakers
Roy Godwin
Roy Godwin is the leader of Ffald y Brenin Trust in Wales, UK. People from throughout the world come to Ffald y Brenin Christian Retreat Center and House of Prayer where the Holy Spirit has moved in power in recent years. He is the founder of the «Local Houses of Prayer Movement» which is spreading rapidly throughout the world. He is also the founder of several other movements focused on prayer-based discipling and missions. Roy has written the bestselling «The Grace Outpouring», which will be published in Norwegian just before the conference starts.
Bjørn Olav Hansen
Bjørn Olav Hansen will take part in Outcry 2017. He is a pastor in Det Norske Baptistsamfunn, pastor for Kristi Himmelfartskapellet, member of Ecumenical community in Bjärka Säby, and a leader for Norway’s national prayer council. It will be exciting to hear what Bjørn Olav has to share about the chapel which God laid on his heart to start, and his experiences in prayer. He is especially interested in early church history, the Eastern Church and the spirituality of wilderness fathers and the neomonastic movement. His desire is, through his books, seminars and retreats, to inspire a radical pursuit of Christ in prayer and commitment, and to build bridges between Christians of different confessions.
