I. SPEAKER – Wayne Benson
Wayne Benson
“Wayne Benson is a visionary leader for the 21st Century! He is an articulate speaker, gifted administrator and experienced pastor who communicates a compassionate and compelling message for ministry and the Christian life. In the fall of 2005 Wayne was elected President and CEO of Emerge Ministries, a premier Christian counseling center in Akron, Ohio, specializing in helping minister and missionary families. Prior to that, Wayne was president of Central Bible College. The focus of CBC is “the training of ministers and missionaries.” During his 25 years as Senior Pastor at Grand Rapids First Assembly of God, the church experienced unprecedented growth: with a staff of 80, a school of 750, and a congregation from 250 to over 5000. Following their pastorate at Grand Rapids, Wayne and Kathy launched a new ministry called “Paraclete Ministries,” coming alongside as consultant and mentor to pastors and missionaries. Wayne is proud to be husband to Kathy, father to two married children serving God in full-time ministry, and grandfather to nine grandchildren.”
