It was a great week for the AOI Creation Mountain Adventures Family Camp located at the beautiful Redcloud Ranch near Lake City, CO. The people who attended the sessions were eager to learn about creation and study the book of Genesis. Actually, many were so eager that we had to do extra sessions in the evenings. It was not uncommon to teach from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 or 11:00 p.m. – Monday thought Thursday. We taught several who were struggling with the idea of a...

I had another great week at Camp Salvation near Trinidad, CO. The second week I was able to minister to 7th and 8th grade students. I also had the privilege to bunk in a cabin with the boys. This gave me a greater opportunity to get to know them and minister to their spiritual needs. God blessed us with twelve lives given to Christ, three of which were in my cabin. Some of the questions asked were: “Why did Jesus have to die?”; and “Why did God have to...
Read MoreUntil They Know How Much You Care
I had a good week of senior high camp at Camp Salvation, which is located near the small town of Stonewall Gap, CO. Usually my wife and family would attend camp with me. But, since my wife has been away from the children plenty this year and some of our children are now employed, I decided to travel alone. I like to spend as much time with the campers as possible. A good Christian friend of mind once said, ‘People don’t care what you say until they know how much you...

The goal was to equip and encourage youth to use their gifts in their local churches when they return home. I taught anywhere from two to five sessions a day. I delivered the morning message for the entire group, lessons from Genesis chapters...
Read MoreUpdate from the CHEC Home Educators Conference
Attendance and interest were great at the CHEC Conference in Denver last week. We were able to share with many people the need for creation science in their home education program. One woman shared how they were using the AOI DVD program to ground their children in a Christian worldview and help them to effectively defend their faith in a skeptical world. We also saw a real interest in attending one of our Creation Mountain Adventures at Redcloud Ranch – either...
Read MoreHelp us in India
I have been traveling and teaching in India every winter for the last three years, and one request that I repeatedly receive from my Indian Christian friends is the crucial need for good laptop computers. Many of the Christians there are very poor and cannot afford them. We all know the blessing that this technology can bring in education and learning. This will help run items such as Bible software and other critical tools in a ministry environment. If you are able,...
Read MoreCreating Synthetic Life
Recently in the media there has been a lot of hype about creating synthetic life or artificial life. Did scientist really create life? Could non-life evolve into living things? Is abiogenesis (spontaneous generation) true? Well, the answer to these questions is no. Actually, these scientists continue to support the Law of Biogenesis that life only comes from pre-existing life. Let us look at the rest of the story. It took the following: 20 highly ‘qualified and...

Sue and I along with Allen and Molly Nance had the opportunity to travel to Hyderabad, India Jan. 19th though Feb. 4th. We hit the ground running teaching a church seminar the evening we arrived.
