SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER
DEREK CLARK
The theme, Resilient, was chosen as it represents the character of speaker, Derek Clark, who as a child was abused and abandoned by his parents. Derek will share the extraordinary story of how God enabled him to not only survive but thrive with the help of loving foster parents and mentors. Derek, now a professional keynote speaker, has also gained notoriety as the “Rapping Dad,” with over 250 million views on social media.
Derek’s story will inspire everyone who deals with adversity (that would be all of us!) and will be especially encouraging to foster parents.

Thank you!
