Knoxville, TN – Jan. 6, 2010 – Kirk Cameron, star of the runaway hit movie “Fireproof,” will be the featured speaker for Feed Your Faith’s “Love Worth Fighting For” tour, which kicks off in Feb. 2011. Well-know signer/songwriter Warren Barfield (“Love Is Not A Fight” from the movie “Fireproof”) will also be a featured guest on the tour.
The “Love Worth Fighting For” conference focuses on all areas of relationships including our relationship with God. The conference encourages people in all stages of life to attend as the event applies to teenagers, single adults, newly married couples and longtime spouses. The tour begins on Feb. 4, in Simpsonville, S.C. and is scheduled to conclude in Nov., in Orlando, Fla. The tour will be making 30 stops across the country including cities in Tex., Ohio, N.J. and Md. Tickets range from $20 to $35 each and are available as reserved seats or general admission for singles, couples and groups of 10 or more.
As the featured speaker for the “Love Worth Fighting For” conference, Cameron has proven to draw crowds as over 35,000 people attended this event in 2010 to hear him speak and to learn about God’s plan for healthy, happy marriages. Tickets sold out almost six months in advance as a result of the conference’s high attendance.
Additionally, the “Love Worth Fighting For” tour is partnering with the well known non-profit, Food for the Hungry. Last year’s conferences led to over 700 child sponsorships. Since 1971, Food for the Hungry has been a relief and development organization for the poor in more than 26 countries.
Following the success of his 1980s hit television show, “Growing Pains,” Cameron married actress Chelsea Noble and is now the father of six children. He’s an outspoken Christian and has starred in the Left Behind movies, written books, and continues to work in film and television. Cameron’s next movie, “Monumental: In Search of America’s National Treasure,” is currently in production.
Feed Your Faith started five years ago built on a simple concept; bring in Christian speakers, authors, singers and music groups to help Christians grow in their faith and, at the same time, raise money for those who are less fortunate. All of the organizations proceeds go directly to local charities. To date, Feed Your Faith has worked with nationally known writers and music groups including Lee Strobel (former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and author of The Case for Christ), author Mark Mittelberg, DecembeRadio, Decyfer Down and Sanctus Real, needtobreathe and Sarah Reeves.

Kirk and Warren,
We attended your seminar last night in Willoughby, Ohio. My husband and I brought my husband’s sister and her husband. They have been separated for over a year. With a court date this Tuesday. They have 3 great girls. Two in college and one in 11th grade. The 11th grader is best friends with our daughter.
My husband prayed for you and your message and for all of our hearts in the car before we came in. My sister-in-law started tears then. She never really stopped (except to laugh).
You did a phenomenal job. Thanks! Kirk you did a great job of hitting hard with the Gospel. Warren you did a great job with music and your honesty at mistakes. Boy how God takes our utmost worst in our lives for His Glory. Also thanks to your wives and children for their sacrifices.
Well, how can I put this. At intermission they left the sanctuary and he put his arm around her and kissed the top of her head. They came up front and committed to fighting for their marriage., We were right behind praying over them. As I write this it just seems like letters on a page, but it is so much more. It effects eternity (God’s Kingdom). He bought a copy of your seminar. He repeated many times how he couldn’t believe how imformational, and entertaining it was. Also, that he did not expect this.
I know there is a lot of work ahead of them. But I wanted to give you immediate feedback.
Again, God Bless you and Thanks from the bottom of our hearts.

A friend just told me about your event. She attended in Willoughby this past Sunday. I hadn’t heard about it before. I feel like I missed a major blessing! I would like to know if there are any future plans to either come back to this area or perhaps western Pennsylvania?
Thank you for your time,
In Christ,
Donna Blake
