David’s mission is to encourage and equip men to live their lives for Christ. He utilises his life experiences – including his upbringing in a non-Christian home, coming to Christ as an adult, and extensive business background – to reach men in a way they can understand. David is the founder of Rough Cut Men Ministries, which is primarily a live, interactive men’s experience using a strategic combination of action movie sequences, real world current events, biblical truth and fireteam-sized discussion times. David helps de-isolate men by creating solid friendships that foster support and encouragement.

Dr Michael (Mick) Duncan is a speaker and author who knows what it’s like to go through difficult times. This included a painful season where his daughter was tied up in a lifestyle of drugs.

Mick is a “minor-kiwi-prophet” who has a PhD in John Wesley, a Masters in Dietrich Bonhoeffer and a 10 year slum-street-degree from Manila. Mick’s latest book is Alongsiders, on how to do time with people who are different and difficult. Mick currently pastors without being a Pastor, speaks throughout NZ & Australia and has a heart for vulnerable kids needing care and protection.
