Dr MARK HARWOOD (CREATION MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL)

Join us on Sunday 21st July at 10am as Dr Mark Harwood brings us a fantastic presentation ‘A Brief but True History of Time’ as part of our FOUR HOT SUNDAY’S in 2024.

Hear the good news that the biblical account of origins is not only historically accurate, but makes better sense of the evidence.

ABOUT CREATION MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL

Creation Ministries International (CMI) exists to support the effective proclamation of the Gospel by providing credible answers that affirm the reliability of the Bible, in particular its Genesis history.

Dr Mark Harwood completed his tertiary education at the University of Sydney where he received B.Sc., B.E. (Hons) and Ph.D. degrees. His postgraduate studies were focused on radiotelescopes and computer techniques for antenna design and measurement.

Mark played a key role in the development of Australia’s national satellite system. He has now retired from the aerospace industry where he was General Manager, Strategy and Planning for the Optus satellite business.

During his university years, Mark was something of a ‘closet Christian’ because he could not understand the basis of his faith. He assumed that God must have created through the processes of evolution but that idea provided no meaningful basis for Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross. But when he was confronted on the historical truth of the creation account in Genesis he realised that those opening chapters were actually true. Then God’s plan of redemption finally made sense.

Today, he speaks passionately, both in Australia and internationally, about the scientific credibility and the Gospel relevance of the Genesis account of creation.

About Believe Men

Believe Church is committed to raising up strong Christian Men in the Illawarra!

Most men are isolated. Most men travel alone. And that’s right where the enemy wants us. The sad fact is that most men today have hundreds of acquaintances, and no real friends. We shake hands with many yet know very few.

The Bible says that we should “Pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up”. Men need to be back-to-back with another man in order to be victorious in the battle for men’s souls.

We are a connect group for 19-30 year olds with a heart to build friendships in the Wollongong region, over great food, prayer and the Word of God. Our heart is that we would encourage one another and build each other up as we journey through life together.
