Event Speakers

Historian Bill Potter

Historian Bill Potter combines a lifelong study of history with an uncommon ability to captivate audiences of all ages as he traces the providential acts of God throughout the ages. Leading tours of American and European historical sites, he has earned a well-deserved reputation as a gifted communicator, bringing to each event a wealth of experience and knowledge. A seasoned researcher and writer, Mr. Potter possesses a practical knowledge of antiquarian books, documents, and artifacts and has published numerous short books, as well as many articles and book reviews. He and his wife, Leslie, reside in Virginia.

Dr. Lew Sterrett

From growing up on a farm in Pennsylvania and getting involved in 4-H at age 8, to attending Penn State University and majoring in the animal industry field, Dr. Lew Sterrett had many opportunities to learn from qualified trainers and educators. During his University years he was confronted with his need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. After his graduation he later went to earn his master’s degree in divinity and his doctorate in Leadership Training. Throughout his lifetime Dr. Lew has expressed his concern for Biblical leadership development for 33 years as a director of a major camp and conference center, and for 29 years as a founder and president of a discipleship school, a former president of CHA (an instructor safety certification program) and as a certified youth, marriage, and family counselor. He has received many prestigious national awards for his influence in leadership such as the National Leadership Award from the National Republican Congressional Committee Business Advisory Council and the Moody Bible Institute-Most Influential People.

Dr. Tom Ford

One of a father’s greatest challenges, particularly as his daughters mature, is fanning the flames of hope by cultivating a vision of purpose and opportunities to serve. Tom Ford has been an example of diligent, faithful, humble fatherhood that has been both encouraging and instructive to many. Bring your daughter to the Father Daughter Retreat and meet the Ford family and a host of dads and daughters trying to walk faithfully by God’s grace.
