This monkey would find it hard to think of a more impactful and worthwhile ministry to support than Creation Ministries. The figures speak for themselves.

From one idea to 150 million views Can you help us? We need to fund another year? Over the last couple of years, we have made a major push to bring the message of Creation to today’s ‘digital natives’1.We wanted to reach young people right where they spend their time—in their social media feeds, and using their most popular medium—short (and long)-form video. With your generous support, we launched the Social Media Video Project—now called Creation Talk. The results have been incredible. (More on that below!) Can you help us fund another year of high-impact Creation videos? Watch this 1-minute overview of the project DONATE TO THE PROJECT Recap: The problem—and a solution to the PROBLEM ————————‘Science’ ‘Science’ is one of the top obstacles to faith for young people these days.2Many believe that ‘science’ is in conflict with the Bible,3 concluding that “the church seems to reject much of what science tells us about the world.”4No wonder they are dubious about believing the Bible! They need to be shown that real science is in complete agreement with the Bible! SOLUTION ———————— Social Media Social media is by far the most popular online space amongst ‘digital natives’.A recent global study found that the average 16–34-year-old spends over 2.5 hours on social media every day!5It is one of their top information sources,6 and video (especially short-form) is the most popular content type.7Nothing has the reach or influence that social media has when connecting with today’s young people.We have brought these two together—using social media to spread the message that the Bible is reliable. The results continue to amaze!Since we started releasing daily content, the videos have received over:155 million views2.1 million likes640,000 sharesA number of videos have ‘gone viral’, some receiving millions of views400,000 new followersThis video has over 1.6 million views on YouTube!  Some of the short videos that have ‘gone viral’What truly excites us is not the numbers, but the lives touched by each video. Every view, like, share, and comment represents a person who has been engaged in some way in their faith journey. Each new follower is now connected to a daily source of creation content—right within their social media feeds!Thank you, once again, for your incredible support that has made this possible. Here are some of the ways that lives have been touched: “[Rob Carter] has just changed my whole thought process, thank you sir, ma’am, for this interview!”—@ericfackler2073 “These two episodes have deepened my faith immensely!!! God bless you ❤️”—@jonschlottig9584 “I have REALLY enjoyed these. The engaging question and short to-the-point format is great. … I find myself watching most of your Reels … it’s a great way to reach a lot more people, and they’re well done!”—Chris K.IMPACT MORE LIVES Production insights: It takes a village …Have you ever wondered what goes into making an episode of Creation Talk? It looks simple enough—a couple of people sitting at a table, having a chat. Just hit record, then upload it to YouTube, right?Well, no. There’s a lot more to it than that! 🙂There are hours of content planning and preparation. There is a dizzying array of shoot logistics—flights, accommodation, catering, wardrobe, makeup—and of course, cameras, mics, and lights. Then there is post-production—hours of video editing and staff review—and finally, the distribution process.And there are people—lots of people—involved throughout the whole operation.It costs nearly AU$8,000 to produce one week of Creation Talk content. Each week includes:The main interview (30–60 minutes)A highlight ‘clip’ (5–10 minutes)7 reels (or ‘shorts’), based around a quick question and answerThe Australian office produces 26 weeks of content in a year, and our sister office in the USA does the same. The need: How you can helpWe need your help in three key areas:Give: We need to raise $195,000 to cover the cost of a year’s video content. Our goal is to make this self-funded—and we are part of the way there. Until then, we need to raise money to resource this important project.Pray: For receptive hearts for the millions of people who see the videos—that they would become confident that God’s Word is totally trustworthy. Pray for our team as we plan and produce so many worldview-changing and faith-affirming videos.Get Social: If you’re on social media, you can help to extend the reach of these videos by following us on your preferred platforms (links are at the bottom of the email), and by liking our videos, sharing them, and engaging in the comments sections. Will you partner with us?Together we can use these videos to:Answer those who question the Bible’s reliabilityChallenge the hearts and minds of those who believe ‘science’ contradicts the BibleEncourage those who already believe by bolstering their foundationsDONATE TO THE PROJECT‘Digital natives’ are people who have never known life without digital technology (computers, the internet, social media, etc.). A 2019 Barna study showed that ‘science’ is the #1 obstacle to faith for 18–35-year-old Australians and New Zealanders. Barna Group, The Connected Generation – Australia / New Zealand Report, p. 21, 2019. A 2023 ISCAST survey of high school students in Victoria, Australia, found that nearly two thirds (64%) think science and Christianity are in conflict. Only one in five (21%) think there is no conflict. ISCAST–Christianity & Science in Conversation, We asked 590 students this question about science and Christianity. Here’s what we found. iscast.org, 3 October, 2023.A 2018 Barna report found that only about a quarter of US teens and young adults believe science and the Bible are complementary, and that half (49%) of churchgoing US teens say, “The church seems to reject much of what science tells us about the world”. Barna Group, Atheism Doubles Among Generation Z, barna.com, 24 January 2018.Globally, 16–24-year-old females average 2 hours 59 minutes per day on social media, while males average 2 hours 34 minutes.

Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2022, p. 42, 2022.TikTok and YouTube—which both focus almost exclusively on video—are by far the most-used social media apps, based on Android data from November 2024. TikTok users average 34 hours per month on the TikTok Android app, and YouTube users average 28 hours and 5 minutes per month on the YouTube Android app. DataReportal, Digital 2025: Global Overview Report, datareportal.com, p. 383, February 2025.
