About the Staff

HIS CREATION is a small, non-denominational ministry founded in 1989. We are based in Colorado but serve families, individuals, and groups all around the world. Our sincerest goal is to honor our Lord Jesus Christ by getting to know Him better. The Bible is Christ's autobiography and, in a sense, Creation represents full-color illustrations of His Word. Creation adds no truth to Scripture, but portrays God's attributes in a wonderful way (Romans 1:20). Our goal at HIS CREATION is to discover our Lord's character by exploring Creation in concert with the full truth of the Word of God.


HIS CREATION's small staff is composed almost entirely of incredibly faithful volunteers. These include: Theological Editors—Dr. Ron Prosise, Senior Pastor of Shepherd's Community Church and Pastor Chris Kawa, Executive Pastor of River Oaks Community Church; Dr. Grant Peoples, a practicing family physician and a member of the Board of Directors since 1989; Mrs. Gretchen Ganzel, copy editor and successful homeschooling mom (homeschooled two children through high school); Tim Carlson, Deputy Chief in the Westminster, Colorado Police Department, and board member for many years; Mrs. Kelley Carlson, Tim's wife and a registered nurse, who has tirelessly drawn countless pictures for the HIS CREATION papers; Mr. Josh Destree, web designer and science consultant, committed to encouraging Believers in the faith; Mrs. Rachel Destree, copy editor, who grew up in Kazakhstan and has a deep passion for people who don't know Jesus; and certainly not least, Mrs. Colleen Destree, precious wife of Dr. Destree and contributing artist of the HIS CREATION publications. Mr. Rick Destree is Dr. Destree's eldest son, and is currently the chief web designer for HIS CREATION.

Dr. Rick Destree is the director of HIS CREATION and is the primary author of all the HIS CREATION publications. He first surrendered his life to Christ in September of 1973. He is committed to a serious presentation of the Bible in all of his writings. He is also sincerely committed to an accurate study of science and nature. Dr. Destree has had a deep fascination in God's Creation since he was a little boy. He attended the University of Illinois and received an undergraduate degree in Agricultural Science in 1977. He went on for training at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, and received his M.D. in 1981. Rick practiced medicine until 1990 when he became the full-time director of HIS CREATION. Since then, he has devoted all of his energies to researching the universe in order to discover reflections of the Lord's character seen in Creation. He is deeply committed to sharing these wonders with children and adults with child-like hearts.

HIS CREATION is also extremely blessed to have co-laborers in foreign countries who are actively spearheading translations of our ministry's publications: Pastor Sergei Golovin of Simferopol, Ukraine, who is President of the Center for Science and Apologetics and who has overseen translation of more than 50 issues of CREATOR into Russian.

We also want to thank Pete and Sue Rumsley and the Rumsley family for their dedication and sweet enthusiasm in distributing English issues of CREATOR to several homes in Australia and New Zealand.

All of these servants of Christ have a deep passion for God's glory and desire to see Him honored in many countries around the world. We thank God for their faith, love, and friendship!
