Tyler - Canada

Nickname: tsteingard

Since I was a toddler I have attended an evangelical church, and this has led me to maintain a strong faith in the Lord Jesus for as long as I can remember. Specifically, I remember when I was three or four years old, I was led by a woman in our Sunday school to sing a song where the lyrics speak of asking Jesus into my heart. Although at the time I honestly thought a little man lived inside of my heart, I still believed that He was doing good things in my life.

As I grew up in the church, I matured in my relationship with Jesus and continued to develop the spiritual gifts God has given me in ministry. My parents were very involved in music ministry, and as a result my brother and I also found our places on the team.

My gifts in the creative field continued to flourish into high school, as they were used to promote mission trips and worship events. I soon became very involved in web design, and when I began to attend the College for Graphic Design, I took on contracts for web design and development. These contracts helped me develop my own knowledge/expertise on the web, while school taught me design principles and the technical aspects of print media.

In recent months, God has led me to work with Trans World Radio, http://www.twr.org to both produce all print publications and help re-invent their web-presence worldwide. I feel blessed each day knowing that I am in the place where I am serving Him in ministry through my art and design.
