I had the tremendous privilege of being brought up in a Christian home situated in rural Co Tyrone. I became a Christian as a young child and was brought up learning Christian values and principles. I always believed in God as the Creator and sustainer of this world, but never thought much about the subject of origins.  However about 10 years ago, I was given a copy of Creation Magazine from Answers in Genesis in Australia . I was fascinated by what I read in this magazine and quickly realised that the issue of origins and what the Bible said about this subject, especially in the early chapters of Genesis, was vitally important to my understanding of the Gospel message of Salvation, by faith in the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. I bought and read lots of books on creation and associated subjects, such as fossils and the worldwide flood. This helped me to realise that the Bible is true from Genesis 1 and every detail is important.

Just as I had not been aware of the many resources available to help answer questions on the origins subject, I also realised that many other Christians were in the same position as I had been. I wanted others to receive the same enlightenment and blessing that I had received through creation resources. In 2000, I feel lead by God to start a Creation Trailer to spread the creation message. This is a mobile creation resource and exhibition unit that is taken to various public events during the summer months to engage the public on the creation subject. People of all beliefs and none have been challenged to consider the Biblical creation perspective and hopefully some have become fully persuaded that God is the Creator and Jesus has become their Saviour. It is through my interest in Biblical Creation that I have come to be involved in Creation Outreach Ministries. Stephen currently works as an Agricultural Research Scientist.
