Brad Buser

Brad Buser served for 20 years in Papua New Guinea, with his wife and his children, working among the Iteri people. He was involved in church planting, translation, church planting consulting and language checking. He also served in leadership and at the boarding school for missionary children.

Brad enjoys talking to any group about missions, as well as his work among the Iteri people. Speaking to teens about world evangelization has been especially effective for Brad, due to his obvious excitement for missions!
Brad is a National Representative for New Tribes Mission and currently resides San Diego, Calif.

Libby Little

Libby Little lived most of her adult life in Afghanistan. For over 30 years, she worked with her late husband, Tom Little, to improve the lives of the Afghan people, especially their eyesight. They helped establish and grow the Noor Eye Hospital in Kabul and related ministries elsewhere in the country. Libby also served as an English teacher and in leadership roles for the expatriate community in Afghanistan. Raising their children in Afghanistan, Libby and Tom persevered through several regime changes, and lived in a difficult place out of love for God and His people.

Throughout her time there, Libby experienced God’s grace at work in Afghanistan, and her story now includes the sad task of serving without Tom, who was murdered there in 2010.

Ravi Zacharias

For over 36 years, Dr. Ravi Zacharias has committed his life to reaching this generation around the world. Dr. Zacharias’ vision encompasses a fourfold thrust: EVANGELISM with a particular focus on skeptics, cultural influencers and critical thinkers; APOLOGETICS that addresses current issues and the intellectual struggles related to these concerns, and the humanitarian needs of those at risk within a society; SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES that focus the mind and heart on the glory of God; and TRAINING that comes alongside the church or concerned Christians worldwide.
