Indonesian born Mel Tari—affectionately known as "Papa Mel"—is a general of the faith. With a passionate zeal for God, Papa Mel is a sent out one that sprinkles the nations—and in turn—sends out masses into the harvest field, stoking the fires of revival through empowering, championing, divinely connecting, and building up the body. As the "Papa", he has been speaking at Iris Europe camps since their inception in 2021. Papa Mel is the author of "Like a Mighty Wind" that has inspired millions across the world.

Heidi's greatest passion is to live in the manifest presence of God and to carry His glory, presence and love to His body and a lost and dying world. Rolland and Heidi Baker founded Iris Ministries, now Iris Global, in 1980. In 1995, they were called to the poorest country in the world at the time, Mozambique, and faced an extreme test of the Gospel. They began by pouring out their lives among abandoned street children, and as the Holy Spirit moved miraculously, a revival movement spread throughout Mozambique's ten provinces. Heidi is now "Mama Aida" to thousands of people, overseeing a broad holistic ministry including Bible schools, medical clinics, church-based orphan care, and a network of thousands of churches.

Ben Fitzgerald is a passionate lover of Jesus and the senior leader of Awakening Europe and Awakening churches, a movement that champions the Gospel across Europe through stadium events, city-wide outreaches, and training schools. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Pastor Ben met Jesus in an encounter that deeply changed him in 2002 while he lived in deep brokenness. Since then he has lived passionately about one thing – showing the world Jesus in his everyday life and taking the good news of the Kingdom to the nations. He and the team are helping many people be equipped to share the Gospel, plant new churches, and raise up a company of pure worshippers in Europe. Galatians 5:1 says "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." In line with that mission, Ben loves to equip people to live in God's fullness of freedom and identity. He has a deep conviction that the future of nations will be transformed by radical believers living free and proclaiming Jesus boldly.

He is a servant leader, bathed in humility and gentleness, with wisdom from the King to lead an army of revivalists across the nations!
