I am delighted to announce that well-known Australian Christian leader and speaker Martyn Iles has accepted a leadership role at Answers in Genesis (AiG) as Chief Ministry Officer. Here is a statement from Martyn about this change in his life:

“AiG is a large Christian apologetics and education ministry, also known for owning the famous Ark Encounter and Creation Museum which attract 1.5 million visitors each year.

I will be aiding in the overall leadership of the ministry with the CEO, Ken Ham, who is a fellow Australian (indeed, a Queenslander!)

My role is to continue to advance and adapt the ministry to an emerging generation and a changing culture. I will produce a lot of content, speak at live events all over the world, write books, design education programs, and more.

Also, I will lead the Australian office of the ministry and make sure Australia doesn’t miss out!

AiG has a workforce of up to 1,200 people, so we can do it all!

To this end, I will shortly be moving to the Cincinnati area full-time, though I will continue to visit Australia.

This is an incredible opportunity to do great things—including so much of what I was already doing—on a massive scale, with huge resources and very talented people.

And yes, answers are in Genesis, and the Word of God is still the wisdom we need for our world.

It’s an honour to be entrusted with this role by Ken and the AiG team. It is a big challenge and a big life change. I value your prayers.

Check out the video for a chat about it all with Ken.”
