The Mighty Men Conference, organised by Shalom Trust of South Africa, was an annual gathering of Christian men and boys which ran from 2004[1] to 2010.[2] The Conference included camping outdoors and preaching by Angus Buchan.[3]
South African farmer Angus Buchan began the conference in 2004,[1] with reports of attendees varying from a few dozen[4] to 240.[5] The number of attendees grew rapidly, with numbers reportedly rising to 600 in 2005 to 1060 in 2006, 7,400 in 2007 and 60,000 in 2008.[5] The final national event in 2010 was attended by up to 300,000 men and boys.[3] Mighty Men Conferences have continued around South Africa and the world, however these are no longer one central conference organised by the Shalom Trust.[6][7]
In 2014, Mighty Men of God, Inc, a Christian organization from Orlando, Florida brought a lawsuit against Angus Buchan and World Outreach Church of Murfreesboro Tennessee, Incorporated for using the name "Mighty Men" in the United States, which it had trademarked in 2004.[3] In April 2015 United States District Judge Carlos Eduardo Mendoza denied a motion to dismiss the case from Buchan and the World Outreach Church.[8]
