Meet your CTE 2026 Keynote Speakers!

Chris Pace

Chris Pace is a dynamic speaker and author who empowers people to shift from where they have potential to where they are potent. He is the Director of Discipleship at Messenger International, a ministry founded by John and Lisa Bevere, where he has served for more than two decades. Originally from the land down under, Chris lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where he enjoys making memories with his son, Leonardo, and drinking great coffee. .

David Mclver

David McIver served as the Executive Director of praisefm Radio, which reaches listeners through FM signals in the Upper Midwest, Africa, and the Middle East. David and his wife, Sherrie, also ministered with Baseball Chapel, serving the Minnesota Twins for 14 seasons. 

David is the author of Looking for the One , a collection of short stories about people encountering Jesus in everyday places—grocery stores, hospitals, and dugouts. Each story equips you to walk with Jesus as He looks for the one through you. An ordinary person with an extraordinary Savior, David’s mission is to equip ordinary people to share Jesus. 

People worldwide are discovering that as you look for the one, you become like the One. You become more like Jesus.
