It is always amazing to see the big and little blessings God brings while we are on the road. We were blessed with gracious hosts, at our stop in Pecatonica, IL, who have an overflowing gift of hospitality. They fed us like kings, and made us feel very much “at home.” Even the use of their showers and laundry facilities were huge blessings while traveling. Thanks, Paul and Rose, for serving us! On the day after an evening seminar in IL, a grandmother shared with...
Read MoreTeaching and a Deer Fry
Seminars are going great here in Illinois. We were very busy on our first stop in Mackinaw, IL, it included: a two night church seminar; a Saturday morning homeschool group; a Saturday evening deer fry; and teaching again three hours on Sunday morning. We also had a special time of fellowship with several families in their homes for meals. They were a great blessing to us. The Deer Fry held at New Castle Bible Church, Mackinaw, IL, was a unique event. I had the...
Read MoreRaising Up Faithful Men to Preach
This was my fourth time to travel to India teaching creation. The spiritual hunger I observed was greater than all previous trips. Many have been taught evolution and have compromised Scripture with this philosophy. Once they realize the fallacies of evolution, and Genesis is true history, a burden was lifted and you could see the joy arise in their faces. Many truly understood the importance of this message and some are eager to teach this message to others. We are...
Read More“,But the LORD directs his steps.”
I would like to praise the LORD for His faithfulness in my recent trip to India. He provided abundantly in so many different areas. I am thankful for the provision of finances to allow me the opportunity to minister to the Indian people. God was also faithful in providing safety while traveling to seven different cities in one month, good health throughout the trip, and the strength to endure a very rigorous schedule. It was a joy to see how God worked even through...
Read MoreCreated by Nothing
I am writing a news article on the origin of everything, and wanted to blog on a couple of thoughts. There are basically two ideas about how everything came to be. One is that an intelligent “being” created all things. As a Christian who believes the Bible is true, I say this intelligent “being” is none other than the eternal living God of the Bible, Who has the power to do all things. The second idea is that an eternal nothing created all things. However, this idea...
Read MoreA Note of Thanksgiving
Notes like the one below are a great encouragement as we prepare for 2011. “Hi, Everyone! Thank you for your ministry! My oldest son, who is 15, had been taking Marine Biology and Oceanography at the local community college. He’s had the same professor for both classes. This teacher is hard core evolution in thought. My son said he was thankful and glad that he got to hear your seminars, because he said if he hadn’t, he would have easily gone to the side of...
Read MoreTeaching Revelation in India
In preparation for another creation tour to India in Jan. and Feb. 2011, I am planning what new topics I will teach. Not only are the Indians interested in Genesis and creation, I have discovered they are also fascinated with the book of Revelation and end times. This became apparent while I was teaching from Genesis, there are many similarities between Revelation and Genesis, and they began asking many questions about Revelation. Being limited on time, I quickly...
Read MoreWhen Snakes Fly
You have all probably heard the statement “when pigs fly”, but have you heard “when snakes fly”? That’s right, snakes can fly, well, they actually glide. Scientists have discovered a strange species of snakes located in Southeast Asia, India, and southern China that can glide. You have heard children say, ‘Look mom, no hands’. Well these snakes have neither wings, nor wing like appendages, to help them glide. How do the snakes do this? The...
Read MoreAfrican Mosquito is fulfilling God’s mandate
The African Mosquito is fulfilling God’s mandate to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. The African Mosquito, which transmits most of the malaria in sub-Saharan Africa is adapting to a different habitat. One variation (the M type) is adapted to where there is a more permanent supply of water, and now another variation (the S type) is adapting to short-lived bits of water. Is that evolution? No. The two varieties are physically indistinguishable from each other...
Read MorePlanning from the homestead
We are home for the holidays and busy scheduling our creation tours for next year. I am planning to travel again to India in January and February. Then in March and April, we will be in Iowa and Illinois. I do have a few dates I need to fill. If you are reading this blog and know of some churches or organizations that would benefit from a creation seminar, please call the AOI office or myself at 970-263-4196. The most difficult part of my job is planning a speaking...
Read MoreIn The Public School Arena: Highschool and University
In Harrison, NE, I had the unique opportunity to speak in a public school. Over a two day period, I spoke to four different science classes. Some of the students already believed in creation, so the teaching reinforced their beliefs, but others were doubtful, and so the information was a challenge for them to rethink what they believe. Many of the students also attended our evening seminars held at a local church. We appreciate the Christian teachers in public schools,...
Read MoreThank You for sending Us!
We are returning from a month of speaking in WY, NE, and SD. It has been a fruitful time of teaching and fellowship. While we were at Frontier School of the Bible in WY, we had the privilege of enjoying an Austrian breakfast at the home of Harald and Helga. They had come to the U.S. several years ago in order to thank Christians for sending missionaries to their country, which resulted in their salvation. Their hearts were filled with gratitude. While here, they heard...
