Main Speakers

Revd Ian Powell

I love coming to Melbourne, which I like to call, “the Paris of the South”. For about 48 years, I have been working on honestly hearing God’s voice through His Word and then helping my hearers meet with the Christ through His word proclaimed. I have served as a youth minister, assistant minister, evangelist with John Chapman and City Bible Forum, school Chaplain, and rector at St Barnabas Broadway, and then down in Canberra. I still have so much to learn.  
 

My wife, Wonder Woman, as I call her (or Alison) works as a midwife, and one of my daughters is lucky enough to live in Victoria. 

Dr Kamina Wüst

Kamina is an Old Testament scholar and teacher with a special interest in the Song of Songs and ‘Solomonic’ literature. After writing a college essay on the topic ‘What is the Song of Songs about?’ she couldn’t stop thinking about it, so she completed a PhD (at Moore College). An accessible version of her findings has been published as a Matthias Bible Guide (for which she is also the OT series editor) and as a set of Bible studies, both available through Matthias Media.

Outside of academia she works as a writer and as a business mentor to freelancers in the creative industries. She is married to another writer and they live in Brisbane with their little boy. She can be contacted through www.kaminawust.com
