Science and Bible come together

During the first week of April, we were in the Keys finishing up the Marine Bio trip. It was a terrific experience and God answered our prayers. Two students indicated they found Christ, God protected throughout and in the midst of some close calls, we had good weather when we needed it, and friendships were made. We had a few more challenges (sickness, exhaustion, unexpected expenses) than usual, but God got us through. About a week after the trip, I headed back to Fort Wilderness to teach the TruNorth students once more before their “graduation” from the program. I taught them about God’s perspective on dating and marriage, lessons on biblical archaeology and some new discoveries showing evidence that the Bible is real, and a lesson on why there are four gospels. The students told me they appreciated the way I engaged with them as I taught. I closed out the month hosting a group of 47 seniors on a trip to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. Denise and Charlotte joined me. We traveled by coach bus and spent a day at each site. We had a couple of great Q&A/discussion sessions afterwards. Most of the people were from the church we are attending, so it was wonderful getting to know more of our church family. I also got to meet Ken Ham, the CEO of Answers in Genesis 😊

The Bible translations booklet was just returned from its final edit and should be available in the next few weeks. Charlotte will finish editing the Keep the Fires Burning book very soon and then it will be sent to the publisher for proof. This book is written as a Bible study about 20 minor biblical characters and what they can teach us.

We now have over 7500 subscribers on YouTube. On Captivate, there were over 600 downloads in April. Seashore Session #1, Does God Exist?, was downloaded 54 times. Is Science the True God? from the Science and the Bible series remains the top all-time most downloaded episode.

And praise be to God for being our faithful provider! As we start our 4^th year, we begin at 51% with the support from our monthly donors. Please consider investing in this ministry so we might continue to proclaim the Truth and equip believers to grow and defend the Faith.
