Keynote Speaker - Ed Weiss

Ed Weiss has been actively involved in ministry for 21 years. He married Marci in 1985 and founded the non-profit organization "Reachout Youth Ministries" to facilitate their work in campus evangelism. Through his work with students on public school campuses, Ed recognized that God had given him a unique ability to communicate the truths of Scripture in a way that is simple and often entertaining. Ed�s passion is to encourage people to rise to their full potential in Christ. This gift has opened the doors for Ed to speak all over the world.

For much of the last decade, Ed has been busy as an itinerant youth speaker. As a conference speaker, Ed has enjoyed ministering throughout Europe, Asia and South America. As Ed and his family move into his third decade of ministry, they have chosen to limit the amount of traveling Ed will be doing in order to spend more time with their boys, Michael (17) and Matthew (15), as they go through their high school years. Both of Ed�s children love the Lord and enjoy serving him through music and sports. For the last three years, Ed has been working as a high school counsellor in Calgary.

Ed has completed a Masters Degree in Christian Studies at Prairie Graduate School, and will be completing a second degree in counseling later this year through Providence Theological Seminary.
