Local Xplorations minister, the Rev Desi Maxwell and Tennessee contemporary Christian music artist Michael Card presented a journey through the Scriptures in word and song in Trinity Methodist Church last Thursday evening (17th April).

Michael couples folk-style melodies and instrumentation with lyrics that stem from intensive study of the Bible. This perhaps is most brought out and seen, in his very popular thought provoking song �Scandalon� - while on a softer level of feelings from the heart came the song �Abba Father�. Since his debut in 1981, he has sold more than 4 million albums and has written 19 number one singles. He lives with his wife, Susan, and their four children in Franklin, Tennessee.

Desi, who now lives in Lisburn, was born and raised in Ballymena. A gifted speaker, his education took him through Ballymena Academy, on to the University of Ulster, then Westminster and Princeton Theological seminaries in the USA. After seven years of pastoral ministry, three in Canada and four in Belfast, he has been Senior Teaching Fellow at Belfast Bible College for the past two decades.
