From Youth To Retirees – Something for Everyone

Posted on Apr 7, 2017 in Blog Posts, Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

I want to continue my recollection from recent tours… started in my last blog. Our Idaho tour began Thursday evening (March 27th) with a night of teaching for the AWANA group at Cambridge Bible Church. They had been studying the beginning of Genesis and wanted to continue the theme, so it was very fitting to use my teaching on Genesis chapter 3. I only had to make a few alterations of my usual program for these young people, and then I was off teaching. The...

MUSEUMS AND MEMORIES

Posted on Mar 31, 2017 in Blog Posts, Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

Thinking back on a recent seminar tour, the tour I’m remembering began (March 10th) with a homeschool conference in the Salt Lake City, UT area. The beginning event was a museum tour of the North American Museum of Ancient Life in Lehi, UT. Rich gave a tour and offered a creation perspective on the museum’s exhibits. It was very well attended, over 70 students and adults, with all the participants attentively listening during the 2 hour presentation. As Rich...

Bunk Beds and Bible Conference!

Posted on Mar 29, 2017 in Blog Posts, Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

We spent about ten days, a few weeks ago, at Cornerstone Bible Institute in Hot Springs, SD. Rich was the speaker for the first week of their annual Bible Conference. During the 19 hours of regularly scheduled time, and an additional two hours of optional teaching (always looking for a little more time), he worked through Genesis chapters one to three, plus three other sessions – which included: The Star of Bethlehem, The Creation of Angels, and Evolution, The New...

Costa Rica Creation Tour Underway

Posted on Mar 15, 2017 in Blog Posts, Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Mary Jo & I have been leading a Creation Tour of Costa Rica for an adventurous group (really not that strenuous… but exciting). This is a wonderful place to teach and experience design features in nature… as well as a marvelous place to appreciate our Creator God and give him thanks! (See Romans 1!) At the beginning of the tour, we were in a cloud forest at the top of a volcano, about 8500 feet. Unfortunately, we couldn’t see into the crater due to...

Marathon Session

Posted on Mar 10, 2017 in Blog Posts, Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

PSALM 92:1-2 – “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night.” We are so thankful for the Lord’s lovingkindness and faithfulness as we recently concluded another seminar tour (we are heading out today for another tour). It was a very good trip, not unlike many, many before it, but it was a bit busier than most. At our first location Rich...

The Power of Prayer

Posted on Mar 8, 2017 in Blog Posts, Johnsons from the Front | 2 comments

A few days ago we celebrated my Mother’s 90th birthday. My wife, two daughters, sister and a few friends intended to pull off this event as a surprise party. However, my mother is a traveler … she makes several major trips a year (recently returning from a 2 week cruise through the Panama Canal). We decided we probably should let her know what was being planned to insure that she would be here for her own party! Also, she is a very social lady – Church, Genealogy club,...

How did I Get to El Salvador?!

Posted on Mar 2, 2017 in Blog Posts, Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Life is an adventure when He does the scheduling! Recently (leaving two days ago), I was in El Salvador, a country I had never even thought about going to! So how did it come about? It’s a long winding road – and a real testimony to how God works! Over 10 years ago, Mary Jo and I were speaking at Summit Ministries in Manitou Springs, CO, when we ended up having lunch with Johnathan, a campus pastor from Minnesota. After hearing him talk about the exciting ministry he and...

Always Be Ready

Posted on Mar 1, 2017 in Blog Posts, Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

On a recent trip to Nebraska, while visiting our daughter’s family for the birth of our granddaughter, the church where our son-in-law pastors decided to set up an impromptu three night creation seminar (knowing that Rich was visiting). We had really come to help take care of our one year old grandson during this time, but the Lord allowed us also to be used to train others, specifically some youth who needed answers for a conversation they would be having with an...

Handyman by Day, Speaker by Night

Posted on Feb 22, 2017 in Blog Posts, Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

We are currently teaching and traveling in northwest Kansas. Rich had the unusual opportunity to teach six nights straight as well as the Sunday School and church services. He was also asked to speak at the church Valentine banquet on Friday night. The topic he chose was on love, marriage, and the unique roles that husbands and wives play. The foundation for all of this, of course, comes from the book of Genesis. All the other sessions were an in depth study of Genesis...

Brrrrr! It’s Cold Out There!

Posted on Jan 27, 2017 in Blog Posts, Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Yes, I wondered about Dave’s sanity when he scheduled a seminar in north central Wyoming in the middle of January. After all, it’s COLD up there! But, we felt God was in it, so we headed north. And yes, it was cold (down to -20 and below)! However, after speaking at universities where we often find so many cold hearts, it was refreshing to receive a warm welcome and meet people who were willing to come out at sub-zero temperatures to hear the truth about Creation and...

Indian Drawings of Dinosaurs?

Posted on Apr 16, 2015 in Nuttings from the Front | 3 comments

Mary Jo & I are currently leading a geology field trip of the Southwest for Jackson Hole Bible College. Besides seeing a lot of rock layers and formations (love that Flood Geology), they have gotten to see quite a few petroglyphs. One of those we saw looks interestingly like a bi-pedal dinosaur (image to the left). In another spot, we saw a petroglyph that looked like a sauropod dinosaur (the first is an actual photograph and the second is the photographically enhanced...

Creative Ideas for Children’s Ministry

Posted on Mar 3, 2015 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

We had a very full schedule on our recent speaking trip to the northwest, with lots of opportunities to share the truth about Creation and God’s Word with children, teens, and adults. In all, we did 44 presentations at 22 locations in 2 weeks… Wow! These included churches, creation groups, a university, Christian schools, homeschool groups, and public school kids. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind, but we are privileged to come alongside so many others who are reaching...
