Keynote Speakers for Mow Fire 2026
- Rev Keith Garner
Rev Keith Garner is a widely respected and internationally recognised Methodist minister, leader, and speaker with a deep passion for both spiritual renewal and social transformation.
For fifteen years, he served as the Superintendent and Chief Executive Officer of Wesley Mission in Sydney, one of Australia’s largest and most influential Christian churches, witnessing a powerful and visible Christian presence in the heart of Sydney through evangelism with extensive community outreach—serving the vulnerable, advocating for justice, demonstrating the love of Christ in practical ways.
Prior to this, Keith served in Britain as a District Chair within the Methodist Church in Britain. He treasures the historic revival that took place at Mow Cop Revival 1807. With a heart for revival and a lifelong commitment to mission, Keith speaks with both spiritual confidence and pastoral warmth. Keith brings not only a connection to our shared Methodist heritage, but also a living testimony of how faith in Christ can transform both lives and communities today.
Keith has preached and missioned internationally – in New Zealand, China, Africa, India, USA, the Pacific, and many other parts of the world – but really enjoys annual visits to Ireland and the UK where he still preaches regularly. We are pleased to welcome him to Mow Fire this year.
