So, I’m Deborah 15 now and still a servant of God. What has been going on in my life and what are my plans for the future?

Since the documentary was first shown in March 2009 I have been busy answering thousands of comments and emails. I have been contacted by people across the world from every continent, and from all walks of life: from professional sports personalities to housewifes; from university students to police officers; local counsellors to hurting teens; from people who think I am brainwashed to people who say I have been an inspiration and encouragement to their own faith in God. Muslims, Hindus, JWs, Mormans, Jews, Atheists, and fellow Christians have all taken an interest in my faith and life, and web forums have pages of discussion about issues the programme raised. Richard Dawkins’ supporters had a field day!!

I have been on radio and TV interviews and spoken at schools, churches, conventions, and evangelism training events across the UK. I have given out  ’Origin of Species’ books that have a special introduction by Ray Comfort, to university students in Oxford, and have spoken in London. I have travelled to America and France and spent time sharing the gospel with people in Hollywood and Nice, and done a video conference with students in Canada, answering their questions.

It has been amazing to be able to motivate young people, and not so young people, to get out onto the streets and share their faith and to start living Biblical principles in their lives. If you want me to come and speak to your youth group or school or church, or lead some evangelism training with my dad, then feel free to contact me.

God is still faithful and gracious. I am continuing with my home school studies. This last year I have been focusing on criminology and law, completing a Private Investigator Diploma, and courses in Criminal Profiling, Crime Scene Investigating, Evidence Law, Kinesics, Anatomy and Physiology, and Handwriting Analysis, as well as the usual Maths, English, Science, History, Geography, Art, Cooking, and Sport.

I’ve been keeping fit this year too, working alongside (or should I say….way behind) my older brother as he has been getting fit to join the Army.

Matthew, whose university I visited on the documentary, has finished his degree with First Class honours, and is now a Restaurant Manager.

In six months I shall be 16 and am thinking about my future. I am considering starting a Bachelor of Laws Honours Degree combined with Maths. I am also hoping to be travelling over to America to visit some amazing friends I have made there since the documentary, and touring around to see some sites and possibly the Creation Museums in Kentucky and Florida. I hope to pop in again to Ray Comfort, and Eric Hovind (who were mentioned on the documentary) and maybe attend the Deeper conference. All this depends on whether or not I get a part-time job soon so I can save up for the flights!!

So life is full and exciting. I don’t know exactly what God has in store for the future for my life, but I know for all of us it is going to get tougher as the return of Christ gets closer, and until that time comes I will do my best, with God’s strength and help, to serve Him and Glorify His name and share the law and the gospel while we still have freedom to do so.

Have a great day,

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8v38

It started on Monday speaking with the Christian Union at Woodroffe School in Lyme Regis, then Tuesday was my Brother, Joel’s, sixteenth Birthday, and then Wednesday to Friday I was in London helping at the Living Waters Europe stand at the Christian Resources Exhibition.

Woodroffe School
Dad and I turned up early to make the most of the limited time we had at the lunch-time CU. After some games run by the Christian School’s Worker we ended up with only 30 minutes to answer questions that the students had about the film, my faith and other issues. There were a few questions on the filming and then about evolution v creation and one about hell. Then I was able to share the gospel and motivate the Christians to stand up for Christ even in the crowd with their friends. It felt so short, but we had to stop because their next lessons were calling!

There were around 30 students all together and I think about 20 of those were unbelievers. Several went home with Finding God’s Way books and Bibles and most took my contact details. I have been contacted by a few with further questions and am hoping to meet up and talk more about evolution and creation with one student.

Now I’m getting ready to do a web Conference with a Christian School in Canada on Thursday, so please pray for me. It will be great to be able to inspire and encourage them in their outreach using WOTM.

Christian Resources Exhibition
This was brilliant. A massive room full of Christian’s all sharing resources with each other and encouraging one another. Well, that is what it should have been!! But it was full of some very strange people, beliefs, and ideas, as well as the Bible believing Christians.

I was able to show people how to use the WOTM tracts and encourage them in their evangelism, but what was most fun was the fellowship with other like-minded Christians.

Dad got his video camera and I set off with microphone in hand and started to chat to Christians around the hall. I wanted to get different people’s opinions about their Christian faith and wasn’t surprised with what I heard.

The most interesting was a conversation I had with a New Testament Lecturer for Christian Theology form a University in Wales. After asking him a few basic questions about creation, Heaven and Hell, the Bible, Jesus etc, it was obvious that he had his theology up-side-down, in-side-out, and back-to-front. After 30 mins into the interview I was wondering why he wanted to lecture on the Bible when he didn’t even appear to believe or understand it himself? What was funny was that after the camera was off he handed me a leaflet and said – when you are older you can come along and study Theology for yourself. Oh, boy! You must be kidding me!!

I hope to get the interviews edited together and put them up here soon, so keep an eye out.

Have a great day
