THIS YEAR'S GUEST SPEAKER:

DAVID HODGSON

Dave grew up in Africa during the turbulent '60s and '70s. As a child, he attended boarding school from the age of 5 yrs, which caused him to suffer great rejection. After completing his schooling, Dave was conscripted into the Rhodesian Army at age 17 and joined the SAS. He fought behind enemy lines against two armies across three countries for four years.

Following his time in the SAS, Dave joined the highly secretive Selous Scouts (pronounced Seloo Scouts) and fought undercover with that unit for a further four years. He then left the Special Forces and became a mercenary for two years.

Forced to leave Zimbabwe and stateless, Dave became a commercial saturation diver in the oil fields of South East Asia and Japan. Eventually he immigrated to Australia, where he came to know the Lord Jesus in spectacular fashion at a Christian meeting in Perth, ending 30 years of rejection.

These days, Dave is the Founder and CEO of the Paladin Group of Companies which controls over $50 million worth of business acquisitions and property development. Dave has spent the last seven years funding strategic areas of the Kingdom of God, activating others to do the same, and counselling the believers to impact the marketplace.

Dave teaches biblical principles which are pertinent to the business world. He is a regular speaker at business conferences and churches across Australia and overseas, and heads up the Kingdom Investors ministry at City Edge Church, a Christian Outreach Centre on the Sunshine Coast.
