Susie de Klerk is a passionate preacher, worship leader and youth pastor with a heart for the next generation. Growing up in the U.S., she spent her childhood closely observing the ministry of her father, Pastor Warren Beemer, which deeply shaped her calling and love for the Church. In 2019, shortly after finishing high-school, Susie moved to South Africa to follow God’s leading and joined Hillsong Africa, where she began interning in the youth ministry. Since then, she has become a key leader in shaping the lives of young people across the region. Today, Susie leads the youth ministry at Hillsong Century City—Hillsong’s main campus in South Africa—alongside her husband, Robey de Klerk, playing a significant role in discipling and raising up a generation of bold, faith-filled young leaders on fire for Jesus.

DesMarkus McFolling is originally from Seaside, California. He moved to Ohio in 2008 as a highly regarded collegiate athlete. However, after only two years as a professional, Markus suffered a career-ending shoulder injury that required surgery after surgery, leading him down a dark path of drug addiction. After losing his family and everything he knew and loved, Markus was inspired to make a full recovery and turn his life around. By God’s grace, after rehabilitation and graduation from Adult and Teen Challenge Ohio Valley, his family was restored and Markus pursued his dream and life-long calling to make a difference by founding Reach1 (Reconciling Every Abandoned Child Home).  Markus now travels the world speaking at schools, conferences, festivals, churches, community events, and camps to tell others the story of how he overcame adversity. Markus currently lives in Canton, OH, with his wife, Chelsea, and two daughters, Averie and Dakota.cription text goes here
