Kirk Cameron is best known as the lovable teenager Mike Seaver, from the award-winning series Growing Pains (1985-1992) and as “Buck” Williams from the Left Behind movies-based on the NY Times bestselling novels.  Most recently, he is starring in a new movie from the makers of “Facing the Giants” called FIREPROOF.  Scheduled for a fall 2008 release, it is about a firefighter on the brink of divorce, who gets right with God and then tries to win back the heart of his wife.

Much more significant than his acting career is his conversion to Christianity. Kirk was not raised in a church-going home and described himself as a devout atheist from a very young age. He was so convinced there was no God that he laughed at those who thought there was. But that changed one afternoon as he  sat in his sports car pondering the first Gospel message he had ever heard.

Since becoming a Christian, Kirk has been a dedicated follower of Christ.  He  regularly visits churches and attends community events around the country in  order to share his personal testimony. 

Kirk also produces and co-hosts a new television program called The Way of the Master, a spiritually based, reality TV program hosted with Ray Comfort.  It is watched on 20 different networks, in several languages, won the National Religious Broadcaster’s “Best Program of the Year” award for 2005 and 2006, and “The People’s Choice” award three years in a row.  It has recently become a worldwide, daily, 2 hour talk radio show on Sirius Satellite Network called The Way of the Master Radio.

The Way of the Master Ministry is an interdenominational ministry whose purpose is to teach Christians how to unleash the power of biblical evangelism-empowering believers to share the gospel simply and effectively…the way Jesus did.

Still Growing is Kirk’s newly released autobiography.  He opens up about his early years, his rocket to stardom, his life-changing encounter with Jesus and the hard choices he’s made along the way to stand on his convictions.  In his own words, Kirk shares how he’s still growing through the triumphs and temptations of his Hollywood career. 

It was on the set of Growing Pains that Kirk met and married his co-star, Chelsea Noble.  In 1989, Kirk and Chelsea founded Camp Firefly, a camp for seriously ill children and their families.  They now have six beautiful children and live in Southern California.

Kirk continues to act in and produce quality, entertaining, and inspirational family programming.
