Genesis Matters Fellowship

Genesis Matters | Library Ministry | Prayer Resources

On November 24, 2013, our Prayer Warrior Network formed a network of Christians in the Fergus to Erin, Ontario area who are interested in exploring and discussing the truth found in the Bible books of Genesis chapter 1 through 11. The group launched after viewing and discussing four (4) DVD videos that were shown during the Adult Bible Study at a church in Fergus, Ontario.  The DVD videos we showed and discussed were:

• “Noah’s Ark: Thinking Outside the Box”  featuring Dr. John Whitcomb and Ken Ham, Written by Tim Lovett (24 minutes) @2007 Answers in Genesis.
• “Already Gone: Why your kids will quit church and what you can do to stop it” featuring Ken Ham (43 minutes), @ 2009 Answers in Genesis
• “Check This Out”  © 2011 Answers in Genesis
• “Evolution Vs. God” by Ray Comfort and Emeal Zwayne. © 2013 Living Waters Publications (39 minutes)

We call ourselves the “Genesis Matters Fellowship“.
