Northern Illinois University Ministry
I recently finished speaking 5 nights to students at Northern Illinois University. I am now ministering to Minnesota universities and churches for a packed 2 weeks. Some nights at NIU we had really die-hard skeptics; yet other nights (Thursday), I had no verbal skeptic in the group. It seemed I was coming alongside to aide mostly Christian students. That is OK too. Two goals of AOI are to strengthen Christians and reach unbelievers. The first part is exactly what happened...

Our last week on the road was jamb packed with children’s ministry. After finishing a family program in south-east Minnesota, we traveled to Minneapolis/St. Paul area. There we taught at two Christian schools for 2 hrs at each location. That in itself is unusual; normally the schools will only let you have 30-45 minutes during their chapel time. However, I had taught an hour at one of the schools last year, and they were amazed how attentive the students were for the...

Anyhow, not having MJ right alongside me as my...

Some of the students desired extra creation information – so the afternoon proved a good time to teach on other creation topics. The students and staff were very encouraged by the information and talks. We also had the pleasure of...
Read MoreCoincidence or God-cidence ?
Do you believe in coincidences? I usually like to call them God-cidences. I was really up to my neck with things to do before the next speaking trip and needed to get the articles written quickly for the next issue of Think & Believe. The article I wanted to write to fit the flow of the issue was on the communications of honeybees. I made myself a note to begin doing research the next AM for some of the latest info on honeybee communication. Not having computer web...
