Shalom ministries and their leader Angus Buchan hosted the 7th and final Mighty Men Conference on Buchan’s Greytown farm this last weekend. Estimates are that around 300 000 men attended the gathering.
Shalom Ministries' spokeswoman, Bianca Ortmann said that, “the weekend went fantastically; the guys had a lot of fun. Angus spoke hope to the men and urged them to be responsible.”
Most of those who attended the conference called it a life-changing experience, according to Lesley Ashwell, who has been attending the conference ever since it started. “It was absolutely awesome and humbling, seeing grown men cry.”
“Angus said it is the last one here at Shalom, from now on there will be men’s conferences all over but they will not be organized by Shalom” said Ortmann.
Early speculation is that the next Mighty Men Conference may well be hosted in Soweto.
