Christ Tabernacle, Glendale, NY
Reverend Adam Durso serves as the Executive Pastor at Christ Tabernacle and is the Founder of Youth Explosion Ministries and Upside Down Inc. For the last 16 years he has played a profound role in not only his local church but churches worldwide. Known for his influential and passionate preaching ability he frequently speaks at youth conferences, rallies, prayer summits, and schools such as: Nyack College, Bizarro World, MiSfIt NYC and the like. Though Rev. Durso was raised in a Pastor’s home he did not always serve God as he does today. Living a reckless and promiscuous lifestyle through much prayer and fasting at the age of 19 he gave his heart to God and is a testimony that God does answer prayer. Today he speaks to thousands and leads out of that heart, a heart of great faith that God can do the impossible.
John Gray World
Minister. Actor. Comedian. Playwright. Author. Singer. For John Gray these titles are one and the same. Gifted with the ability to seemingly flow effortlessly from one mantle to another, John Gray is the very definition of a Renaissance man. However, John’s heart has always been turned towards the development of young people, so it is no wonder that God has seen fit to send John all over the world to speak and encourage kids to live for Christ and to fulfill their purpose through service to others. John’s work has grown into John Gray Innertainment as he continues to preach and speak to youth and young adults across the country as emcee, comedian, speaker and worship leader.
