TEEN CAMP

2012 Speakers

Will Galkin (Teen Camp I & IV) Evangelist Will Galkin is known for his heart for teens. After traveling with the Steve Pettit Evangelistic Team for six years, Will and his wife Christy began traveling on their own in evangelism and music ministry in 2002. We're grateful that the Galkins serve here at Northland Camp during the summer months, where Will is the Staff Evangelist and Christy helps with special music. The Galkins have five children.

Keven Brownfield (Teen Camp II) Keven Brownfield attended a Christian school, and although he made a profession of faith earlier in life, he was not genuinely born again until the age of 19. Experiencing the heartache of profession without possession led Keven toward a deep desire not only that young people know about God, but also that they know God personally. Listen to a sermon

Aaron Coffey (Teen Camp III) Aaron Coffey has a strong passion to see children and teenagers develop a heart for God. For three years he traveled with the Steve Pettit Evangelistic Team helping to run the teen outreach and children's program. After he married his wife Stephanie in 2005, they began traveling with Will and Christy Galkin. In Fall of 2010 Aaron and Stephanie began their own ministry called Coffey Evangelistic Ministries. Their desire for churches is that they would be growing in the knowledge and grace of God and actively pursuing relationships around them to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They have been married for five years and have three children, Ella (9/23/07), Asher (10/4/09) and Liam (6/13/11). During the summer months, Aaron is Counselor Supervisor at Northland Camp.
