ATG II – 2010 Speakers
Dr. Ted Roberts |
|
 |
A Vietnam fighter pilot, Ted accepted Christ during the war but brought home addictions to alcohol, pornography, and destructive anger. His message is that Hell is using these bondages to tear our world, homes, and churches apart. Ted served as senior pastor at East Hill Foursquare–a church of over 7,000—until 2007 when he and his wife, Diane, were called into full-time ministry heading up Pure Desire Ministries International. |
Pastor Mike Slater |
|
 |
A U.S. Army veteran, pastor, speaker, and author, Mike is a graduate of Point Loma College and holds a Master of Divinity from American Baptist Seminary of the West. “People who hurt are people on stretchers, “ he says. “To hurt is bad enough, but to hurt alone destroys people physically, mentally, and spiritually. This truth has led me to engage in the practical ministry of Stretcher Bearing…the ministry of support and encouragement.”

Cleto Rodriguez, Comedian |
|
 |
A 12-year veteran behind the mic, Cleto performs nationwide in churches, comedy clubs, corporations, and colleges. He is also the star of his own TV show, “Late Night Live with Cleto Rodriguez.” Cleto connects with audiences by relating everyday life experiences. Anything and everything is fair game, from marriage mishaps to the challenges of dieting. His comedy is high-energy, observational, and hilarious… with a brilliant Latino twist. |
Gary Holcomb, Master of Ceremonies |
|
 |
Gary hails from the notorious, dangerous streets of Compton, Calif. The product of sexual and physical abuse as a child, gangs and prison, Gary has a glorious testimony of the life-changing power of God. He spoke at the last ATG conference, and his message of encouragement and hope is still bearing fruit. He is also the Central Coast leader for Pure Desire ministries. He has a gut-level honest, no-holds-barred view of redemption that touches men at a very real level. |
