Confirmed Impact 2011 Speakers

We have now confirmed our keynote speakers for Impact 2011. They are Dr Bill Barrick and Dr Jack Hughes.
Bill served as a missionary Bible translator with ABWE in Bangladesh from 1981 to 1996. In Bangladesh, he was the exegetical consultant for Bible translation projects, theological consultant for literature ministries, director of church planting ministries in Chittagong, and an adjunct faculty member for the Bangladesh Theological Seminary.

His writing ministry includes devotional commentaries for Asians, journal articles, adult Sunday School materials, and co-authoring a commentary on Daniel in Bengali and A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew. He is currently writing a book on the ministry of Bible translation, a Linguistic and Exegetical Key to the Hebrew Bible, and commentaries on Ecclesiastes and Genesis.

Bill is currently professor of Old Testament and Director of Th.D. Studies at The Master’s Seminary. He was born in Colorado and raised in Wyoming. He and his wife Barbara have been married for 44 years. They have four married children and fourteen grandchildren.


Dr. Jack Hughes serves as Senior Pastor at Calvary Bible Church in Burbank, California. Prior to this he served as a pastor in Idaho and also helped to plant two churches. Jack graduated from Boise State University with a degree in electronics technology. He attended The Master's Seminary and received an M.Div. degree. Later, he earned a Doctorate of Ministry degree in expository preaching from Westminster Theological Seminary. Jack wrote a book for preachers entitled Expository Preaching with Word Pictures: with illustrations from the sermons of Thomas Watson.Jack and his wife, Lisa, have three teenage children - Leah, Nate, and Mark.


In addition, we ave also confirmed two guest seminar speakers. Lisa Hughes will lead the seminars for women and John Richard will lead the seminars for youth.

Lisa and her husband Jack have been married 26 years. They have three great kids, two of whom are in college and one still in high school. As the wife of a devoted and busy pastor Lisa’s ministry involvement has ranged from serving in the nursery to planning church picnics. But for the last twenty years her greatest joy has been to write and teach Bible studies for the ladies in her church. It is her desire to see women develop a hunger for God’s Word and then watch as the Lord transforms their lives through the study of the Scriptures. Lisa’s goal in life can be summed up in Second Corinthians 5:14-15: For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.

John serves as Youth Pastor at Placerita Baptist Church in Los Angeles. He is a native of the East Coast, growing up in the Philadelphia area. He graduated from Cedarville College (now Cedarville University) in 1997 with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology and his teaching credential. He earned his Master of Divinity degree from The Master's Seminary in 2001. He ministered at Calvary Bible Church of Burbank as a youth pastor for more than three years before coming to Placerita Baptist Church in 2004.

John met his wife Jamie and was married in 2000. They have five children; Joshua, Kaylee, Ashlyn, Ellie, and Dayton.

John has preached at the Riverbend Bible Church Sports Camp and returns now to address the youth at Impact.


Watch out for more speakers to be added to the lineup.
