The Church Resources Exhibition (CRE), previously known as the Christian Resources Exhibition, has announced evangelist J.John as a keynote speaker for its newly launched Church Leaders Conference in England this October.
The two-day event will take place Oct. 14–15, 2026, at Sandown Park in Esher, Surrey, U.K.
Organizers say the conference will focus on equipping church leaders to navigate modern ministry challenges while strengthening gospel outreach.
“In recent years, we have witnessed in our own ministry an increased receptivity to the gospel,” J.John said.
He will speak on the opening day, addressing how leaders can communicate the gospel clearly and lead with renewed confidence in today’s cultural climate. His sessions will draw on more than four decades of ministry experience, combining spiritual depth with practical strategies for church growth.
Known for his global preaching ministry, J.John has spent more than 45 years teaching in churches, conferences, and public gatherings. His work consistently emphasizes evangelism and the vitality of the local church — themes that will shape his contribution to the program. J.John is also a regular contributor of opinion articles to Christian Daily International.
He said churches must be prepared for emerging opportunities, both spiritually and practically, noting that many leaders are seeing a growing openness to faith. He added that CRE provides a valuable space for discovering new ideas, tools, and encouragement for ministry.
The Church Leaders Conference forms part of the wider CRE event and will be hosted by Andy Flannagan, executive director of Christians in Politics. The program will include keynote talks, panel discussions, and seminars aimed at helping leadership teams respond to the pressures and possibilities of contemporary church life.
Registration is expected to open in early May, with organizers confirming that all ticket proceeds will go to charity.
