Simon Terry

There is no doubt that Simon Terry has a heart for evangelism, whether in door-to-door work, literature tables, or speaking to groups and churches. Over many years, in different parts of the UK, Simon has gained much experience in answering people’s objections to God, the Bible, and creation. He combines this with ongoing field research with snails.

Simon Terry became a Christian at 18 years old after reading about Jesus Christ in literature he had received at a gospel meeting in his childhood. After graduating in 2000 with a bachelor of education degree (BEd) from the University of Wales College Newport, he joined the London City Mission working mainly among the youth and then later in community outreach. For three of those years, he also supported a ministry in Covent Garden using a literature table and attending festival events with a larger literature stall to reach those who believe in the new age philosophy.

Simon has a long-term interest in slugs and snails which stems from a childhood fascination. Their distinctive design, variability, and extraordinary way of life have greatly intrigued him. Around 2003, he began studying the autecology of the land snail Helix pomatia in the south of England and hopes to one day get his work published, giving the glory back to the Creator in a field dominated by Darwinian thinking.

In 2007, he left London for Leicester to join Answers in Genesis–UK as a speaker for the ministry. Since 2009, he has been working as an evangelist in Leicestershire concentrating his time on door-to-door evangelism and a literature table in his local town center. He is currently working on a book titled The Big Questions of Life Answered and still takes the opportunity to speak on the subject of creation.

Simon is married to Yvonne with two children.
