Earl C. Wallace, Author, Consultant, & Trainer
Earl is the pastor of Liberty Christian Fellowship Church, which developed from evangelism after God showed him that America is making the same mistakes Israel made as stated in Judges 2:10 “And there arose another generation after them (Joshua and his generation) who did not know the LORD or the work that he had done for Israel.” God showed Earl the history of how He divinely inspired men to seek the rights and freedoms expressed through the Ten Commandments, which America’s Founding Fathers realized are God’s way of saying we each have a right to do as commanded in 1-4 & 5, and we each have a right not to have Commandments 6-10 perpetrated against us. This application of Christianity to civic life made America a peaceful and stable society, ripe for the Great Awakening, and saw Christianity spread throughout our land.
As Earl began teaching the results of this research he called “The Biblical Basis of the Bill of Rights” (3-BR), in firehouses and libraries, people came to Christ, and others rededicated their lives to the Lord. Earl started Bible studies with these converts and they formed Liberty Christian Fellowship Church. LCF uses a “whole passage” method of Bible teaching to ensure we get God’s full and complete mindset on each topic within every particular passage. This delves deeper than politically correct topical sermons to show how all God’s word applies to every aspect of life.
Pastor Earl teaches each summer at Camp Constitution, in Rindge NH, where in addition to the 3-BR program, he teaches other topics that are part of a book he is completing. Mr. Wallace wrote The Three-Dimensional Leader: Negotiating Your Mission, Resources and Context, which has been endorsed by three other world-renowned “leadership gurus.” Earl has taught 3-D MRC Leadership throughout America, and in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.★

Tom DeWeese, American Policy Center, Founder
Tom DeWeese is one of the original pioneers in the property rights movement to speak out about the dangers of Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development. Throughout the early 2000’s Tom joined with the late Henry Lamb to sponsor ten national conferences under the Freedom 21 banner, teaching more Americans to speak out about this threat.
Today, Tom travels the nation, speaking to property rights groups, TEA Party gatherings, political conventions, and gatherings, large and small, of concerned citizens.
Tom is an inspiring speaker. “Passion” is the word most often used to describe his talks. He fully understands Agenda 21 and its true goals, and he is able to explain this very complicated issue in a simple and easy to understand manner. After his talks, Tom often hears members of his audience say they had never fully understood the issue until they heard Tom explain it.
In addition, Tom DeWeese has spent considerable time over the past few years designing and perfecting new approaches and tools for activists to use in their local fights to stop Agenda 21. As he uses audience participation in teaching these new tactics, those attending have a renewed energy for their local efforts. Bring Tom DeWeese to your community, special event or convention to educate, motivate and begin the vital effort to stop Agenda 21 in your area.★
